How do you watch the Los Angeles Rams vs. Carolina Panthers match? TV channel and live stream details for the Wild Card Game

The Los Angeles Rams have reached the playoffs for the third straight season under coach Sean McVay. They won three of their last five regular season games to punch their ticket.

The Rams are loaded with Pro Bowl talent like Matthew Stafford, Pukka Nacua, Davante Adams, Jared Fiers, and Byron Young. They will fancy their chances against the Panthers in Saturday’s playoff game.

However, McVay must ensure that his squad starts the game strong. Leaving it late could be detrimental against a highly motivated Panthers team.

Carolina Panthers head coach Dave Canales led his team to the playoffs in his second season on the job. The former offensive coordinator guided the Panthers to first place in the NFC South.

The Panthers may have the worst regular season record entering the playoffs, but they are a tough team to beat on their day. Remember, they beat the Rams in Week 13.

With both teams aiming for a nice scalp, here’s how to watch the encounter.
