Who Rams will play in divisional round after win vs. Panthers image

The Los Angeles Rams are moving on in the NFL playoffs, as the team picked up a win over the Carolina Panthers in the wild-card round.

It wasn't pretty from Sean McVay's squad, as they turned the ball over, had a punt blocked, and blew a big first-half lead. However, quarterback Matthew Stafford led a masterful game-winning drive, finding Colby Parkinson for a game-winning touchdown with under a minute remaining to keep Los Angeles alive in the playoffs.

That said, let's take a look at who the Rams will play in the divisional round of the postseason next week.

Who will Rams play in divisional round?

There are four possible opponents that Los Angeles could play in the divisional round: The Seattle Seahawks, the Philadelphia Eagles, the San Francisco 49ers, or the Chicago Bears.

Seattle has a first-round bye, while Philadelphia and San Francisco will square off on Sunday in the wild-card round, and Chicago will take on the Green Bay Packers on Saturday night.

Here are all the scenarios that could play out and decide who the Rams will play on divisional round weekend:

  • Packers win + Eagles win = Rams play Eagles in divisional round
  • Packers win + 49ers win = Rams host 49ers in divisional round
  • Bears win + Eagles win = Rams play Seahawks in divisional round
  • Bears win + 49ers win = Rams play Bears in divisional round

We'll see who Los Angeles ends up playing next week. The rest of wild-card weekend will decide the answer.
