15. Greg Zuerlein

If the Rams do in fact go on to defeat the Patriots in the Super Bowl, Greg Zuerlein will forever be remembered as a hero in Los Angeles after watching him come through with two clutch kicks for the Rams during their win over the Saints.

It was one thing for Zuerlein to connect from 48 yards out towards the end of regulation, but his 57-yard field goal in overtime to seal the win is a moment Rams fans will be playing on repeat in their minds after seeing how easy he made it look.

Kicking from that distance in general is never an easy task for any kicker, and when considering the kind of field position the Saints would have received if Zuerlein missed, one can only imagine the high level of pressure he was feeling.

Luckily, Zuerlein doesn’t even have to worry about imagining it since the only thing that matters is the kick was good, and the Rams were able to officially punch their ticket to the Super Bowl.

A kicker taking home MVP honors seems like a long shot, but if Zuerlein ends up having one of those games in which Los Angeles heavily relies on him for numerous kicks, it’s certainly possible.
