WATCH: Jalen Ramsey confronts Robbie Gould during halftime off NFC title game
Whenever two division rivals meet up, tensions are always going to be high during the game. Add in the fact that a Super Bowl appearance is on the line with the NFC Championship and players are going to get chippy.
Nothing is different for the Los Angeles Rams and the San Francisco 49ers. As the two teams were heading to the locker room, kicker Robbie Gould and cornerback Jalen Ramsey got into a confrontation. The two had to be separated by their teammates.
You can watch the full altercation here:
Gould had just kicked a go-ahead field goal, giving the 49ers a 10-7 lead at halftime. Both offenses have been held in check, resulting in a lower scoreline compared to the two team’s Week 18 matchup.
Thus far in the second half, there has not been too much chatter between the two teams. There was one taunting penalty on San Francisco but both teams are trying to keep their head down and clinch a Super Bowl bid.
Micah Parsons reacts to huge hit in NFC Championship game
Former Penn State linebacker Micah Parsons is used to laying out opponents on the football field. Tonight, in the NFC Championship game between the Rams and 49ers, he got to watch his former Nittany Lion teammate, Nick Scott, layout 49ers receiver Deebo Samuel on a pass across the middle.
Jimmy Garoppolo threw a pass over the middle to Deebo Samuel and Scott delivered a bone-jarring hit on Samuel to prevent the catch. A flag was thrown initially, but after the officials discussed the play, they picked up the flag and ruled it was a clean hit.
It was undoubtedly one of the hardest hits of the 2021-2022 NFL season. Samuel was shaken up a bit after the play but was fine after a few minutes. The refs got the call right, and it was a perfectly clean hit by Scott. It’s refreshing to see a defender deliver a hard hit and not get flagged for it, for once.
Check out Parsons’ reaction to the hit.
