The Los Angeles Rams 20-17 comeback victory over the San Francisco 49ers in the NFC championship game on Sunday left many fans thankful for a trade the Rams made a year ago to the day.

That was when the team dealt its inconsistent quarterback, Jared Goff , plus two first-round draft picks and a third-rounder to the Detroit Lions for longtime quarterback Matthew Stafford .

The risky move paid off big time for LA. Stafford rallied the Rams from a 10-point deficit in the fourth quarter on Sunday to advance to the Super Bowl, which will be played in their home stadium on Feb. 13 against the Cincinnati Bengals.
