Ah, the Super Bowl. The Sunday in February where millions gather around to watch the culmination of the NFL’s season. The best of the AFC and NFC for 60 minutes for the richest prize in sports: the Lombardi Trophy.
This year’s Super Bowl between the Rams and Bengals will be just the second time that two former first overall picks square off in the NFL’s biggest game in quarterbacks Matthew Stafford (2009) and Joe Burrow (2020). The first occurrence came in Super Bowl 50 (2015-16), when the Broncos’ Peyton Manning faced off against the Panthers’ Cam Newton.
For Los Angeles, it’s the franchise’s fifth Super Bowl appearance, and first since the 13-3 loss to the Patriots in Super Bowl LII (2018-19). The Rams’ lone Super Bowl victory came in Super Bowl XXXIV (1999-2000), a 23-16 victory over the Titans.
Cincinnati, meanwhile, is looking for its first Super Bowl victory in the franchise’s third appearance. The last came 33 years ago in Super Bowl XXIII (1988-89), a 20-16 defeat to the 49ers.
