It is no secret that the Los Angeles Rams are underdogs going into Super Bowl LIII versus the New England Patriots. Fortunately, running back C.J. Anderson has a good idea of how Los Angeles can overcome the odds.

There are few ways to find an edge over an experienced team like New England. According to Connor Casey of 247Sports, Anderson shared what he feels gives Los Angeles the best chance to win:

“Be great on third down, be great in the red zone, and protect the football. If we can do that at a high level, got a high chance at winning,” Anderson said.

There is certainly plenty of truth to Anderson's comments. Although the Patriots have been the NFL's premier dynasty over the last two decades, they have proven to be vulnerable on the big stage. Unfortunately, fulfilling Anderson's keys to victory will be much easier said than done.

The Patriots may not boast the kind of firepower they had in year's past, however, they have still proven to be quite efficient when it matters. That was certainly the case in both of their playoff games this year. The best way to nullify quarterback Tom Brady in a game like this is to keep him off the field. In order to do so, Los Angeles must find a way to use the clock to their advantage.

Of course, it is safe to say that the Patriots plan on doing the same thing to counter this high-powered Rams offense. Thanks to Anderson, Los Angeles now boasts a two-headed attack in the backfield like New England does. Their final stat lines could be a huge indicator of which team escapes with a victory.
