  1. This is it...

    LA Rams 20-23 New Orleans Saints

    Jared Goff will have just over 100 seconds of game time left to get the LA Rams down the other end and score.

    We could have overtime.

  2. Field goal
    Breaking

    LA Rams 20-23 New Orleans Saints

    No idea how that wasn't a foul!

    As it is Wil Lutz puts the Saints ahead...

  3. LA Rams 20-20 New Orleans Saints

    Incomplete! The Saints want a penalty! No joy...

    Field goal...

  4. LA Rams 20-20 New Orleans Saints

    Great defence from LA! They wrap up Alvin Kamara for a short loss. Third down.

    If the Saints get a first down, they probably win...

  5. LA Rams 20-20 New Orleans Saints

    Drew Brees is incomplete. Every man, woman and child inside the Superdome looks wracked with nervous energy...

    Another timeout.

  6. LA Rams 20-20 New Orleans Saints

    Clock management is important now as well. New Orleans want to score, but not score with enough time on the clock to allow LA back down the other end. Fascinating.

  7. LA Rams 20-20 New Orleans Saints

    Got it! What a catch!

    Drew Brees goes big for the first time all night, goes long and it's hauled in from up high by Ted Ginn! Huge play, huge first down.

    A 43-yard completion.

    Two minute warning...

  8. LA Rams 20-20 New Orleans Saints

    Drew Brees with so much time in the pocket, he takes all day before finding Alvin Kamara in the backfield for a first down! Good play.

  9. LA Rams 20-20 New Orleans Saints

    Drew Brees with ball in hand, last few minutes of the fourth quarter, inside the Superdome. A man at peace with his surroundings. Is he taking the Saints back to the Super Bowl?

  10. LA Rams 20-20 New Orleans Saints

    Here we go then, last five minutes. Plenty of timeouts left. DO NOT fumble the ball...

  11. LA Rams 20-20 New Orleans Saints

    Should the Rams have gone for it there?

    This is going to be tight...

  12. Field goal
    Breaking

    LA Rams 20-20 New Orleans Saints

    We're tied!

    The Rams don't go for touchdown on fourth down as Greg Zuerlein kicks it through. All square.

  13. LA Rams 17-20 New Orleans Saints

    Jared Goff is close to running in for a touchdown, as is CJ Anderson!

    Fourth down. Go for it?

  14. Rams closing in...

    LA Rams 17-20 New Orleans Saints

    Jared Goff! Lovely throw, out to Josh Reynolds for a first down and more, he's down to within a few yards of glory and he's hauled in. Have to score from here...

  15. LA Rams 17-20 New Orleans Saints

    It's so loud that Jared Goff is having to run and physically speak to his wide receivers from the shotgun. Madness.

    And a huge play from the Rams! Goff finds Gerald Everett who breaks a tackle and picks up a 39-yard play! The biggest of the game.

  16. This is getting tense - and a reminder that tonight's second game kicks off in an hour...

  17. LA Rams 17-20 New Orleans Saints

    Rams have the ball back, just outside their own end zone. It's a long way downfield from here.

  18. LA Rams 17-20 New Orleans Saints

    Turnovers win championships. It's lower scoring than I expected but no worse a watch for it. You can feel the tension across the Atlantic.

  19. Get involved

    Andrew Priestley: Both offences are seemingly marching up the field and scoring at will, but it could come down to one season (or career) defining defensive turnover to decide this game

  20. Saints punt

    LA Rams 17-20 New Orleans Saints

    Third and long for New Orleans. Big snap for the Rams defense - they break it up!

    Saints will have to punt it.
