And there are few defenses he could have hoped to meet less in Super Bowl LVI. Burrow won't be able to engineer a win if he can't stay upright in the pocket. We can talk about how the pairings of Burrow and Ja'Marr Chase and Stafford and Kupp were two of the most explosive passing attacks we have seen in the modern NFL.īut it all starts with Burrow and Stafford, two quarterbacks whose teams have risen and fallen with them all season. We can break down how Joe Mixon and Cincinnati's run game stack up against the Rams run defense or how the Bengals secondary will try to limit the damage Cooper Kupp can do. In the regular season, Burrow was sacked 51 times and the Bengals gave up 55 sacks overall, third-most in the NFL. Super Bowl LVI will end in a 24-21 win for the Cincinnati Bengals over the Los Angeles Rams, according to EA Sports’ Madden NFL 22 prediction. The question is whether Burrow's offensive line can give him the protection he will need against a vaunted Rams defense that had 50 sacks this season, third in the league, along with 95 quarterback hits. It wasn't as good as Stafford's stat line (4,886 yards, 41 touchdowns, 17 interceptions, 67.2 completion percentage), but Burrow has shown he can hold his own against a fellow gunslinger. He had a stellar completion percentage of 70.4. walk away with the Lombardi Trophy that easily. In only his second season in the NFL, Burrow put together a season worthy of a veteran, throwing for 4,611 yards and 34 touchdowns to 14 interceptions. One year later, the Rams will do it as well at SoFi Stadium, a narrative the league couldn't have planned any better if it had tried.īut Joey Franchise (take your pick of his many nicknames) isn't going to let Matthew Stafford and Co. Heading into last postseason, a team had never played a Super Bowl in its home stadium before Tom Brady's Tampa Bay Buccaneers became the first. The Bengals are the underdogs heading into the Rams' house for the Super Bowl (that's especially ironic considering that the AFC is designated the Super Bowl home team).
Let's take a closer look at the odds heading into Super Bowl LVI. It's a terrific matchup between two offensive juggernauts, anchored by two quarterbacks with huge arms who have proved they can engineer incredible comebacks when their backs are against the wall.
There, they will face Burrow's Bengals, who will play in their first Super Bowl since the 1988 season.
Now Sean McVay's Rams return to the Super Bowl for the second time in four years.
