ATLANTA — We’re only hours away from finding out who will face-off in Super Bowl 53 in Atlanta.

Sunday’s conference championship games will feature the Rams and Saints in New Orleans (NFC Championship kickoff at 3:05 p.m.), followed by the Patriots and Chiefs in Kansas City (AFC Championship kickoff at 6:40 p.m.) The winners meet in Atlanta Feb. 3 inside Mercedes Benz Stadium.

Meanwhile, if you head downtown Monday, you’ll already begin to feel the effects of the big game – even two weeks away. Road closures will begin to be implemented.

Be sure to keep tuned to WSB Radio for Triple Team Traffic for continuing updates on closures throughout the next two weeks.
