Since that Super Bowl appearance, Jared Goff disappointed expectations and the Rams started to decline, season after season. But this season’s success was not due to Jared Goff, but rather the defense led by Aaron Donald, who was ranked as the 2nd best NFL player in recent years. However, they fell short to the GOAT and the New England Patriots. Well, enough that in just two years he led the team to Superbowl 53, the team’s first appearance since 2001. Under the coaching staff of Sean McVay and other amazing talents, Jared Goff did well.

The story starts for the Rams in the 2016 draft, where they drafted Jared Goff with the first overall pick, indicating the start of a new era and rebuild. But how did two teams, who were projected to have more losses than wins and to barely skim the playoffs, end up on America’s largest stage? The journey was everything but easy. However, the Super Bowl featured neither of these teams, but rather the “young-but-talented” Bengals led by Joe Burrow and the “all-or-nothing” Rams, idolized by their strong defense and new leadership. Entering the 2021-2022 season, all the money was on the Chiefs and the Bills in the AFC and the Buccaneers and Packers in the NFC to win their respective divisions and ultimately claim the ultimate prize, a Super Bowl Trophy. This NFL season has been unlike any other, new talent like Micah Parsons and Ja’marr Chase entered the league on fire, while proven veterans like Aaron Rodgers and Tom Brady made final strides for another Super Bowl Victory.
