LOS ANGELES, CA — The Los Angeles Rams are heading to Super Bowl LVI against the Cincinnati Bengals. The Rams get the chance to play on their home turf in SoFi Stadium in February after winning the NFC Championship title. However, the championship game was not easily won. Heading into the fourth quarter of the game the Rams were down by double digits against the San Francisco 49ers. They were able to land their spot in the Super Bowl after three scoring drives led by quarterback Matthew Stafford.

The Rams last played in Super Bowl LIII in 2019 against the New England Patriots. The team is looking to capture their next Super Bowl win after last winning the title in 2000 against the Tennessee Titans.
