Tyler Higbee came through big late in the third quarter of the NFC Championship Game between the Los Angeles Rams and New Orleans Saints.
Catching a one-yard touchdown pass from the right arm of Jared Goff, Higbee pulled the Rams to within three points, 20-17.
The play itself was beautifully designed by Sean McVay. Off play-action, Higbee was wide open in the front right of the end zone. After making the catch, he shushed the pro-Saints crowd at the Superdome.

A game that started out being all Saints, all the time, has swiftly evolved into a compelling contest in which it’s anyone’s game.
