Conference championship is just a few days away. The New England Patriots will travel to Mile High to face the Denver Broncos for the Lamar Hunt trophy for the AFC Championship, while the George Halas trophy of the NFC Championship will be played at Lumen Field between the Los Angeles Rams and Seattle Seahawks. Who will advance to Super Bowl LX at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, CA? The probability indicates we are going to get Super Bowl rematch. But from what year/super bowl? Here’s my prediction.
Super Bowl Rematch Possibilities
Patriots-Seahawks (Super Bowl XLIX)
Patriots-Rams (Super Bowl XXXVIII, Super...

The NFL has had wild card playoff teams since 1970 and expanded the wild card to three teams per conference in 2020 but despite the league’s best efforts to give more teams a chance to win the Super Bowl, very few wild cards have made it that far. If the Los Angeles Rams beat the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday to win the NFC Championship, they will join an exclusive group of teams to win three road games in the same playoffs.
Only five teams have won three road playoff games in a season and the last four won the Super...

It’s another week which means more questions at cornerback for the Los Angeles Rams as we head into the NFC Championship. Unlike previous weeks, this isn’t necessarily because the cornerbacks played poorly in the divisional round against the Chicago Bears. Outside of Cobie Durant’s gaffe while covering tight end Cole Kmet on Caleb Williams’ touchdown pass on 4th-and-4, this was arguably the group’s best game since they played the Tampa Bay Buccaneers back in Week 12.
The Rams cornerbacks were led by Durant who had two interceptions, but he also allowed just three receptions on eight targets. Roger McCreary played...

The Los Angeles Rams are being picked by Bruce Arians to win the Super Bowl. Arians coached against the Rams many a time, and perhaps most notably when he was the head coach of the Arizona Cardinals, of course he also had some epic matches against Sean McVay and the Rams when he was with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers as well.
Will the Rams actually win it all? I don’t know, but Arians thinks so, and I thought that was interesting because I think he is being genuine, so when he speaks praise on these Rams I am taking it...

With the 20-17 win over the Chicago Bears in the NFC Divisional Round, Los Angeles Rams head coach Sean McVay earned his 10th playoff win of his career. It moved him into a tie for 14th all-time with coaches like Bill Walsh and George Seifert. What’s unique about McVay’s playoff record is that all 10 wins have also come against 10 different opponents. With McVay set to play his first postseason opponent for a second time, I thought it would be fun to rank each of McVay’s playoff wins.
It doesn’t get much...

Matthew Stafford hasn’t been playing his best football recently, but he’s one win away from becoming the 25th starting quarterback in NFL history to reach a second Super Bowl. Would redeeming the Rams’ loss to the Seahawks a month ago and reaching the Super Bowl put any debate to rest on Stafford’s place in the Hall of Fame?
Just a year ago, Jalen Hurts became the 24th QB to reach his second career Super Bowl with the last two being Patrick Mahomes in 2020 and Russell Wilson in 2014. Now Stafford could reach his second Super Bowl in less than...

One of the underrated aspects of the Los Angeles Rams’ divisional round playoff win over the Chicago Bears was how they adjusted at corner and forced three interceptions on Caleb Williams.
Corner has been the Achilles heel of the Rams team for the 2025 season. Bigger receivers—AJ Brown, Michael Wilson, and others—have abused this secondary for very productive outings. It has swayed the outcomes of games and almost cost them an opening postseason victory against the Carolina Panthers.
But credit to the Rams for adapting and finding a solution to win against the Bears. Let’s take a deeper dive into...

When the Los Angeles Rams were set to take on the Chicago Bears in the NFC Divisional Round of the playoffs, many assumed there would be a lot of points. After all, this was a matchup between two of the best offensive minds in the NFL going head-to-head in Sean McVay and Ben Johnson.
Instead, it was the two defenses leading the way. The Rams defense forced three turnovers and held the Bears to 3-for-6 on fourth down. Chicago had three empty possessions in scoring range, including two inside the 25-yard line.
It was this time last year that the...

The Los Angeles Rams are taking on the Seattle Seahawks in Seattle, and historically (at least according to the information I am sharing below), it is the home and favored team who wins the NFC Championship Game more often than not.
Will history have any impact on this Sunday’s contest? Not exactly, but it’s still interesting and it should be no surprise that the Rams have their work cut out for them as they get ready to take on one of the best teams in the NFL.
The Seahawks looked great as they dismantled the San Francisco 49ers as the...

The Rams hold two first round picks. Will they use either of them on players from the Indiana-Miami national championship game?

The Seattle Seahawks wanted these kinds of matchups when they hired defensive coordinator Mike Macdonald to replace Pete Carroll as the head coach two years ago, to go up against the league’s top offensive gurus like Sean McVay and Kyle Shanahan in the NFC West and the playoffs. Now a week after the Seahawks defeated the 49ers by 35 points, it’s up to McVay’s Rams to prove that sometimes you gotta be careful what you wish for when L.A. travels to Seattle for the NFC Championship game.
But although these two teams couldn’t have been closer in the regular season...

One of main negatives constantly tossed about is the Rams defensive pass coverage. In reality, the 2025 secondary has statistically improved over each of the last two seasons. Even so, it’s still a middle of the NFL pack unit and may need a total rebuild for 2026.
The Rams have two corners currently under contract for next season, Darious Williams and Emmanuel Forbes. You could add Josh Wallace, but realistically, he’s made the move to “STAR”. They could also sign Alex Johnson and Cam Lampkin off the practice squad to Reserve/Future contracts. None of these really inspire confidence. Before the...
