No. 5-seeded Los Angeles outlasted the No. 4 Carolina Panthers 34-31 in the opening wild card game Saturday, putting it in the divisional round. Los Angeles, which entered the playoffs 12-5, started off hot with a 14-0 lead and looked to have the momentum of a possible rout over the 8-9 Panthers.

Matthew Stafford threw a 19-yard go-ahead touchdown pass to Colby Parkinson with 38 seconds to lift the Los Angeles Rams to a dramatic 34-31 wild-card round win over the Carolina Panthers in the opening game of the NFL playoffs.

The receiver was blasted by Panthers defensive back Nick Scott as he went up to haul in a deep pass from Matthew Stafford with less than six minutes remaining in the third quarter of Los Angeles’ wild-card matchup at Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte, N.C.

Matthew Stafford overcame an apparent finger injury and led two late scoring drives to help lift the Rams to victory over the Panthers in the wild-card round thriller.

Las Vegas oddsmakers sure didn’t believe in the Panthers. Carolina entered the week 200-1 longshots to win the Super Bowl — by far the lowest of any of the 14 teams in the postseason — and a 10 1/2-point home underdog to the Los Angeles Rams in Saturday’s wild-card game, according to BetMGM Sportsbook.

Quarterback Bryce Young and wide receiver Jalen Coker moved the offense throughout. Young passed for 264 yards and a score while rushing for 24 more yards and another touchdown. His touchdown pass landed with Coker, who recorded nine catches for a game-high 134 yards.

For a while there, it felt like we were staring at a very different Sunday night. The Los Angeles Rams were pushed to the edge before finally edging past the Carolina Panthers with a 34–31 wild-card win.
