For the first time in his eight-year NFL career, Odell Beckham Jr. is heading to the Super Bowl, as the Los Angeles Rams emerged as NFC Champions with a win over the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday.

Beckham finished with a season-best performance on Sunday, catching nine of 11 targets for 113 receiving yards in a 20-17 win over the San Francisco 49ers. Ever since his midseason signing with the Rams, he’s slowly deveoped a steady role in the offense, and he’s now been targeted 23 times (catching 19 of those passes) throughout the 2021 NFL Playoffs, amassing 236 yards and one touchdown.

After Sunday night’s win, Beckham quickly took to the sidelines and found his mother, who he embraced after checking a career goal off his bucket list: clinching a Super Bowl ticket.

WATCH: Odell Beckham consoles Deebo Samuel after NFC Championship

All-Pro wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr stopped his celebration temporarily to console young star Deebo Samuel after the Los Angeles Rams win over the San Francisco 49ers in the NFC Championship game Sunday night. The heartfelt moment was caught on camera and shared via social media.

Deebo Samuel, who joined Odell Beckham Jr in the elite group of All-Pro wide receivers this season – emerged as a versatile playmaker who helped carry the 49ers offense through the final weeks of the regular season and deep into the playoffs.

He finished the regular season with 121 receptions for 1,405 yards and six touchdowns, adding 59 rushes for 365 yards and eight touchdowns in his mixed role as a part-time running back. His electric speed and elusiveness, Samuel took the league by storm.

Beckham saw a similar rise to superstardom with the New York Giants, then spending time with the Cleveland Browns before a move to the Los Angeles Rams midway through this season. Since joining the Rams, he has appeared in eight games with 27 receptions for 305 yards and five touchdowns.

Robbie Gould and Jalen Ramsey altercation

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 also had to be separated by their teammates.

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.
