Championship Sunday is upon us! For my money, it’s the best football day of the year. It’s like football Thanksgiving – you get all the festivities of championship football, but there’s still “the big one” to look forward to. I love it. After a historically good Divisional Round…hell, I dare say maybe the greatest Divisional Round of all time, we’re set up for another solid slate of Sunday games. If you haven’t already, check out our Bengals-Chiefs Drinking Game. If you’re back with us, gearing up for this game after playing along during the AFC Championship, well…condolences. Get your affairs in order for this one. We’re talking about divisional rivals – the road warrior San Francisco 49ers heading to SoFi Stadium to take on the Los Angeles Rams. Let’s get to it. It’s my 2021 NFC Championship Drinking Game!
The Rams are currently favored by 3.5 points at home, with a point total set at over/under 46. These are two masterminds at head coach gearing up for the most important chess match of the season with a spot in the Super Bowl on the line. The Rams invested heavily in this moment, and I think they’ll be ready for it. It’s Lombardi or bust for Sean McVay and company.
2021 NFC CHAMPIONSHIP DRINKING GAME
TAKE A DRINK IF/WHEN…
- We get the highlights from either/both of the two previous meetings between these two teams.
- Either team registers a sack or a takeaway.
- The lead changes.
- Someone mentions either Patriots-Rams Super Bowl -or- the Chiefs-49ers Super Bowl.
- The 49ers are referred to as “underdogs.” Drink again if someone specifically calls them “tough” or “gritty.”
- DeMeco Ryans is discussed as a “head coaching candidate.”
- Anyone brings up Matthew Stafford potentially getting to a Super Bowl. Double drink if they specifically mention all his time in Detroit.
- Cooper Kupp catches a pass.
- George Kittle catches a pass.
- Matthew Stafford amasses 50 yards passing – yes, drink for every 50 yards passing he amasses.
- Deebo Samuel amasses 10 yards rushing or receiving – yes, drink for every 10 yards rushing or receiving he amasses.
- Aaron Donald is mentioned in the same sentence as “dominant,” “All-Pro,” or “Defensive Player of the Year.”
- Brandon Aiyuk amasses 10 yards rushing or receiving – yes, drink for every 10 yards rushing or receiving he amasses.
- Jalen Ramsey visibly talks shit to a 49er.
- Your significant other comments on how handsome Jimmy G is.
- Someone mentions the “Sean McVay coaching tree.”
TAKE A SHOT IF/WHEN…
- This game hits the over.
- Odell Beckham, Jr. catches, rushes for, or passes for a touchdown.
- Jauan Jennings catches, rushes for, or passes for a touchdown.
- Anyone calls the Rams “all in” referencing the additions of Stafford, Von Miller, and/or Beckham.
- Jimmy G throws a touchdown (you don’t have to do two shots if he throws the TD to Jennings).
- Anyone who simply speaks to Sean McVay during the game gets a head coaching job before the game is over.
As usual, stay safe and responsible out there. If you drink, don’t drive. Do the watermelon crawl.
