Panthers, Rams tied NFL playoff record with this wildly exciting stat

Key Highlights

• . The first change occurred less than 30 seconds into the quarter, when running back Chuba Hubbard punched in his second touchdown of the evening on a 3-yard run.
• That gave Carolina their first lead of the game at 24-20. Los Angeles then fired back on the ensuing possession, after running back Kyren Williams found the end zone on a 13-yard pass from quarterback Matthew Stafford.
• The Rams went ahead, 27-24, with a little less than nine minutes remaining. After a couple of punts, one of which was blocked by Panthers safety Isaiah Simmons, Carolina regained the edge on a 7-yard touchdown connection between quarterback Bryce Young and wide receiver Jalen Coker.
• Young and Coker pushed the Panthers ahead, 31-27, at the 2:39 mark of the quarter. But it was Stafford and the Rams who delivered the final blow.
• The MVP frontrunner would find tight end Colby Parkinson for a 19-yard touchdown with only 38 seconds left, giving Los Angeles a 34-31 lead they would not relinquish. The Panthers then failed to get the ball moving over those last 38 seconds, as their hopes evaporated when Young could not link up with rookie wideout Jimmy Horn Jr.
