The road to a Super Bowl can be one of the most rewarding accomplishments that any coach, player, and organization experiences. Winning a Super Bowl is a whole different thing, winning two in a row is a different story all its own. Now the LA Rams have to go out and do it.
The Rams will find out how difficult a proposition that is on September 8, 2022, when they open their season, and the entire NFL season against the Buffalo Bills on Thursday Night Football..
The Bills have become a trendy pick to win it all in 2022, but they will have to fight through the toughest conference in the NFL. The AFC is loaded, especially out west where four teams could get to Super Bowl LVII in Glendale, Arizona. So trendy is one thing, but in early July, a lot of teams become intriguing contenders.
The LA Rams will have some questions of their own to answer as they begin the defense of their Lombardi Trophy. As sound and well-run as they are, head coach Sean McVay will again need to evolve his team, especially on offense.
The NFL is a copycat league. Teams like the Arizona Cardinals, San Francisco 49ers, and Cincinnati Bengals all have young charismatic head coaches who continue to try to close the gap on McVay and the Rams.
Nothing will come easy for these Rams. They are the hunted and no longer the hunter, which is exactly where this team wants to be.
