(St. Louis-AP) -- The St. Louis Rams have moved into the N-F-C title game with a 49-to-37 win over Minnesota. The Rams will host Tampa Bay for the right to head to the Super Bowl next Sunday. League most-valuable-player Kurt Warner threw for five touchdowns and completed eleven of 12 passes in the third quarter when the Rams scored 21 points. While the Rams improve to 14-and-3, the Vikings finish the year at 11-and-7. Tony Horne ran back the second-half kickoff 95 yards, the first postseason touchdown on a kickoff return in Rams history. Warner finished 27-for-33 and set team playoff records for yards passing with 391 and touchdown throws. The Vikings had led at the half, 17-to-14. The shootout produced the second-highest scoring playoff game in N-F-L history. Philadelphia's 58-to-37 victory over Detroit in 1995 was the highest. Jeff George finished 29-for-50 for 424 yards and four touchdowns, three in the final five minutes.
