Here are three concerns for the Los Angeles Rams if they happen to meet the New Orleans Saints in the NFC Championship next weekend.

Saturday was a night to remember for the Los Angeles Rams when seeing how the team was able to hang on for a 30-22 win over the Dallas Cowboys in the Divisional Round to advance to the NFC Championship.

Between Sean McVay and Jared Goff earning their first career playoff win along with the defense stepping up in a big way by limiting Ezekiel Elliott to 47 rushing yards, there were plenty of exciting factors to take away from the Rams during their win over the Cowboys.

As for who their opponent in the NFC Championship will be, well Los Angeles unfortunately won’t know until Sunday night after the conclusion of the final Divisional Round game between the New Orleans Saints and Philadelphia Eagles.

While facing the Eagles would mean the Rams get to play at home for the NFC Championship, the Saints are the No. 1 seed in the NFC for a reason when looking at the amazing season Sean Payton has been able to put together with this team

In other words, if Los Angeles were to end up playing the NFC Championship on the road in New Orleans, this really wouldn’t come as a surprise at all, and would certainly make for an interesting matchup when seeing how things played out in the regular season.

Rams fans remember well just how tough that first loss of 2018 was when seeing how the Saints managed to pull off the 45-35 victory, although the circumstances would be much different this time around.
