Indianapolis Colts placekicker Adam Vinatieri recently announced that he would be returning for yet another NFL season in 2019-20. Previously — and infamously — a member of the now Super Bowl-bound New England Patriots earlier in his career, the seasoned placekicker was naturally asked about his rooting interest in Sunday’s affair in Atlanta. A veteran […]

The New England Patriots will be taking on the Los Angeles Rams come Sunday in Atlanta. With Super Bowl 53 now right around the corner, it appears as though the battle of words has already begun between the two sides, with Patriots head coach Bill Belichick and Rams defensive coordinator Wade Phillips at the forefront. Well, […]

The Los Angeles Rams have plenty to be confident about going into Super Bowl 53. However, linebacker Dante Fowler Jr. has noticed the team taking a rather humble approach in the 2018 NFL season. Fowler joined the Rams as an in-season addition from the Jacksonville Jaguars. According to Robert Klemko of Sports Illustrated, he is […]

Few running backs who have ever played the game of football were as talented as Denver Broncos legend Terrell Davis, so if you are a young halfback in the league right now, you will gladly listen to any advice he will provide. Davis, who won two Super Bowls during his career, had some simple advice […]

The big talking point for the Los Angeles Rams heading into the Super Bowl is all about the missed pass interference call against the New Orleans Saints and it’s pretty clear that Sean McVay is sick and tired of talking about it. When initially asked about the call McVay said he thought Nickell Robey-Coleman made a […]

Los Angeles Rams cornerback Nickell Robey-Coleman hasn’t learned that poking and prodding Tom Brady probably isn’t the best idea. When asked whether or not Brady has lost a step this season, Robey-Coleman did not hold back in his reply that is sure to raise some hairs in the Patriots locker room, particularly on the back […]

In a recent photo posted to social media, Rams’ defensive coach Wade Phillips paid tribute to his legendary father by donning a cowboy outfit. Under the tutelage of A.O. “Bum” Phillips, the Houston Oilers came within one game of a Super Bowl in both 1978 and 1979. Each time, however, the Oilers fell to the […]

Los Angeles Rams running back Todd Gurley may have been nearly invisible during the NFC Championship Game, but that doesn’t mean the New England Patriots are not expecting a heavy dose of him in the Super Bowl this Sunday. Patriots linebacker Dont’a Hightower said as much to Rich Thompson of The Boston Herald: “They are […]

Prior to leaving for Atlanta on Sunday, New England Patriots safety Patrick Chung told a crowd of 20,000 Patriots fans at Gillette Stadium that the Patriots were going to beat the Los Angeles Rams in the Super Bowl, saying that they were “gonna do down there and kick their a–.” Not surprisingly, the Rams caught […]

Maybe Bill Belichick isn’t some cold-hearted monster after all. Los Angeles Rams head coach Sean McVay told Peter King of NBC’s Football Morning in America that the New England Patriots coach texted him after every game this season: “He was really great in the conversation we had, really enlightening,” said McVay of the first time […]

The Los Angeles Rams are Super Bowl bound. However, the team’s path to the NFL’s version of a championship game was quite unconventional considering that All-Pro running back Todd Gurley was out-played by journeyman running back C.J. Anderson. While Gurley held his own at times, it was Anderson that did much of the work against […]

The Los Angeles Rams have officially touched down in Atlanta. With the NFC Champions’ Super Bowl 53 clash with the New England Patriots now only one week away, the Rams have arrived at the site of this year’s festivities.

Yet another year has passed and yet another Super Bowl appearance it will be for future Hall of Fame quarterback Tom Brady and the New England Patriots. Now a 41-year-old signal caller, Brady will be taking on the surging Los Angeles Rams in Super Bowl 53, which will mark the quarterback’s ninth appearance in the […]

Think Los Angeles Chargers running back Melvin Gordon is bitter about losing to the New England Patriots in the Divisional Round of the playoffs a couple of weeks ago? Think again. Gordon made it perfectly clear that he is rooting for the Patriots to beat the Los Angeles Rams in the Super Bowl, because he […]

Is it possible that the ball Drew Brees threw on what ended up resulting in a controversial no-call on pass interference in the fourth quarter of the NFC Championship Game was tipped prior to the hit? Los Angeles Rams cornerback Nickell Robey-Coleman thinks so: Just an FYI: I spoke to #Rams Nickell Robey-Coleman about this […]

There has been a whole of talk about Los Angeles Rams running back Todd Gurley lately, and not for the usual reasons. Normally, we talk about Gurley because he just lit up someone’s defense or set some kind of record, but this past week, we have been discussing him because of his struggles during the […]

Nobody saw it in New Orleans, where Gurley made almost no impact on the Rams’ 26-23 overtime victory. The highest-paid running back in NFL history touched the ball only five times, albeit scoring a TD on one of those touches, rushing four times and failing to catch two of the three passes intended for him. […]

Earlier this week news broke that Los Angeles Rams kicker Greg Zuerlein was hurt during the NFC championship game. However, Zuerlein was still able to make two huge kicks at the end of the NFC championship game against the New Orleans Saints.

While the NFL has not yet spoken of the controversial no-call on what should have been pass interference and a helmet-to-helmet penalty on Los Angeles Rams cornerback Nickell Robey-Coleman during the Rams’ NFC Championship Game victory over the New Orleans Saints, Robey-Coleman was fined $26,739 by the NFL on Friday for the hit. In spite […]

Los Angeles Rams defensive coordinator Wade Phillips has been around for a long time and New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick knows it. Phillips landed his first NFL coaching job in 1976 when he became the defensive line coach for his father Bum Phillips’ Houston Oilers before landing his first defensive coordinator position with […]

At some point, the controversy surrounding the non-call on pass interference between the Los Angeles Rams and the New Orleans Saints in the NFC Championship Game will pass, but, for now, it remains a hot topic of discussion. You know the story by now. Late in the fourth quarter of the game with the scored […]

After Los Angeles Rams running back Todd Gurley carried the ball just four times for 10 yards during the Rams’ win over the New Orleans Saints in the NFC Championship Game last Sunday, many surmised that Gurley’s knee was still bothering him. However, the Pro Bowler insists that his knee is just fine: “I’m good. […]

Los Angeles Rams head coach Sean McVay has received high praise for the job he has done over the last two years. New England Patriots wide receiver Julian Edelman feels it is well-warranted. McVay is widely considered the most brilliant, young mind in football. According to ESPN’s Jordan Raanan, Edelman also added stud to that […]

With another new year comes another Super Bowl. This time around, it’s the New England Patriots against the Los Angeles Rams. In the last 18 years, the Patriots have gone 5-3 in their Super Bowl appearances. They’ve been in the championship game two-thirds of the time. The amount of success Tom Brady and Bellichek have had […]

New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick has laser focus ahead of his third straight Super Bowl appearance and this time around he’s facing off against the Los Angeles Rams. Belichick has an eye for defense and Rams defensive coordinator Wade Phillips is one the best defensive minded coaches the league has seen. According to […]

Los Angeles Rams legend Jackie Slater has a bit of a dilemma on his hands for this year’s Super Bowl between the Rams and the New England Patriots.

Los Angeles Rams cornerback Nickell Robey-Coleman was involved in one of the most controversial no-calls in the history of the NFL during the NFC Championship Game on Sunday, when he clearly hit New Orleans Saints wide receiver Tommylee Lewis before Lewis had a chance to catch a pass thrown by Drew Brees late in the […]

The Super Bowl is two weeks away, and the Los Angeles Rams’ Jared Goff will be facing off against a legend in the New England Patriots’ Tom Brady. Goff told Boston.com that he was only seven years old when he saw Brady first take the field in the Super Bowl, and he’s been a fan […]

Los Angeles Rams running back Todd Gurley had a rather rough showing in the NFC Championship Game this past Sunday, carrying the ball just four times for 10 yards and seeing a pass bounce off of his hands and into the arms of New Orleans Saints linebacker Demario Davis in the first quarter. Luckily for […]

The Los Angeles Rams did not exactly get off to a good start in the NFC Championship Game against the New Orleans Saints this past Sunday. The Rams fell behind 13-0 and still did not have a first down early in the second quarter when they sent Johnny Hekker out to punt after another three-and-out. […]

If the Los Angeles Rams want to have any chance of defeating the New England Patriots in the Super Bowl, they are going to have to slow down Tom Brady. Of course, that is a tall task. “Yeah, it’s a great challenge,” said Rams head coach Sean McVay of defending Brady, according to Mike Florio […]

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Brandin Cooks played a pivotal role in the Rams’ NFC Championship Game victory over the New Orleans Saints this past Sunday, catching seven passes for 107 yards. However, one of Cooks’ most important contributions may have been a catch that he didn’t make. In overtime with the score tied at […]

Consistency from your kickers in the NFL playoffs is almost a given. But it’s such a necessity. Just ask Chicago Bears fans. Los Angeles Rams kicker Greg Zuerlein made two huge kicks at the end of the NFC championship game last weekend. Rams head coach Sean McVay told reporters this past week that Zuerlein hasn’t been 100 […]

With the Los Angeles Rams set to face the New England Patriots in Super Bowl LIII, this will mark the second consecutive Super Bowl appearance for wide receiver Brandin Cooks.

Super Bowl LIII will feature a number of intriguing matchups between the Los Angeles Rams and New England Patriots.

Following New England’s win over the Kansas City Chiefs in the AFC Championship Game, Gilmore immediately acknowledged his upcoming […]

For the ninth time since 2001 and the 11th time in franchise history, the New England Patriots are headed to the Super Bowl. They withstood a furious fourth-quarter rally by the Kansas City Chiefs and went on to win last Sunday’s AFC championship game by a 37-31 final in overtime. Up next, the Patriots will […]

Los Angeles Rams cornerback Aqib Talib is no stranger to playing on teams with Wade Phillips as the defensive coordinator. In fact, Phillips helped lead the Denver Broncos to a Super Bowl victory only a handful of years ago over the Carolina Panthers. Phillips had the privilege of having an elite defense with the Broncos […]

All the talk from the Los Angeles Rams and the New Orleans Saints game is about the missed pass interference call, but head coach Sean McVay wants to point out that there was also a facemask call missed on Jared Goff that could have changed the outcome of the game. “When you slow it down, […]

Los Angeles Rams offensive tackle Andrew Whitworth is sick and tired of hearing about the non-call for the New Orleans Saints and thinks it’s just an excuse the team and the fans are making for not winning the game. On replay, it appeared that Rams corner Nickell Robey-Coleman which would have given them a first […]
