The curious cases of two high-profile quarterbacks will be on full display during the NFC Championship game between the 49ers and Rams.
INGLEWOOD, Calif. — The curious cases of two high-profile quarterbacks will be on full display during the NFC Championship game between the 49ers and Rams on Sunday at SoFi Stadium. In one corner is a quarterback whose scorn from his own team’s fans doesn’t match the success he has had on the field. That’s Jimmy Garoppolo, who has a 33-14 career won-loss record, led the 49ers to the Super Bowl two seasons ago and is one win away from doing it again.
In the other corner is Los Angeles’ Matthew Stafford, who was believed by coach Sean McVay to be the missing piece to a championship puzzle and was acquired specifically to take the Rams to the Super Bowl. It’s plays like that interception — a thoroughly unnecessary and errant overthrow — that have 49ers fans clamoring for Lance to take over.
“It’s just about knowing yourself as a player, as a person, and as long as these guys in this locker room have faith in me and believe in me, that’s all I really care about,” Garoppolo said this week.
