The Los Angeles Rams are in the NFC Championship game, and get to go up against NFC West division rival Seattle Seahawks.
Unfortunately for the Rams, they're the sixth seed, meaning they have to travel to Seattle for this game. But the Rams have already won two road games this playoffs, beating the Carolina Panthers and Chicago Bears in their home stadiums.
Against the Seahawks, the Rams won't be daunted by the raucous Seattle fanbase. And if they win, as Sarah Bishop of ESPN notes, the Rams would make some NFL history for winning three road games in the playoffs.
Rams could get first 3-road-win postseason in franchise history vs. Seahawks
"The Rams are seeking their third straight road playoff win, which would be their longest streak in franchise history, according to ESPN research," Bishop writes. "They would be the sixth team in NFL history to win three straight road playoff games within a postseason."
Winning three straight games in the NFL is hard enough on its own, especially against playoff teams. But the Rams have done so on the road and are just one more win from reaching such remarkable company.
The Rams have the means to beat the Seahawks in Seattle, and could very well become the sixth team in NFL history, and the first in Rams franchise history, to win three games on the road in a single playoffs.

This matchup is a great one, as both teams are even in a lot of statistical categories, and their matchups this season have already been incredible.
Sean McVay versus Mike Macdonald is one of the more exciting matchups of the playoffs so far, and should feature some incredible decisions from both head coaches.
The Rams are ready to play in Seattle, and, seen by their close wins over the Panthers and Bears, they're ready for a close battle in Seattle.
They're one win away from some franchise history and joining some exclusive NFL history. A road win in Seattle won't be easy, but if any team has shown they're ready for the challenge, it's the Rams.
