The Los Angeles Rams will face off against the Cincinnati Bengals in the LVI Super Bowl, taking place on Feb 13, 2022, at the Ram’s home stadium in Inglewood, California. While the Bengals are entering their third Super Bowl after an upset win against 2020 champs, the Kansas City Chiefs, the Rams are already on their fifth Super Bowl appearance.

This is just as many as the Green Bay Packers or the New York Giants have played. However, the Los Angeles Rams can so far only look back on one Super Bowl win – in 2000, when they were called the St. Louis Rams. While this is not a lot compared to other teams, it is not the worst performance in history. There are still four teams – the Cleveland Browns, the Jacksonville Jaguars, the Detroit Lions and the Houston Texans – which have never played a Super Bowl, and 9 more teams which have competed only once or twice. Jacksonville and Houston only joined the competition in 1995 and 2002, respectively.

The New England Patriots are the team with most Super Bowl appearances, according to statistics published by ESPN, followed by the Pittsburgh Steelers, the Dallas Cowboys and the Denver Broncos. Yet, the Patriots are the among the teams with below average wins to participation ratios, with only six wins out of 11 Super Bowls played. The most unlucky teams among the Super Bowl participants – apart from the Rams – are the Minnesota Vikings and the Buffalo Bills. They each played in the Super Bowl four times but failed to win any of those competitions.

With their unfortunate wins-to-participations ratio, the Rams might be itching to succeed again at the upcoming Super Bowl, but so are the Bengals. They are competing for the third time and have no wins at all under their belt yet.

Super Bowl LV is less than a week away, and many are pegging the championship game between the Kansas City Chiefs and Tampa Bay Buccaneers as a classic battle of old versus new. Former New England Patriot and 43-year-old quarterback Tom Brady leads the Bucs to their first Super Bowl since 2003 (Brady’s tenth appearance in 20 seasons). The much younger Patrick Mahomes of the Chiefs, who was the 2018 NFL MVP at the age of 23, will look to go back-to-back as the Super Bowl MVP this year. New survey data shows fans expect the Chiefs to repeat as champions despite Brady’s vast winning experience in the Big Game.

According to a new survey from Morning Consult, 41 percent of football fans expect the Chiefs to win Super Bowl LV compared to just 24 percent who have the Bucs as their favorite. However, more people like a certain player on the Bucs rather than the entire team, with 36 percent saying it was a major reason them rooting for Tampa Bay compared to 29 percent of those in favor of the Chiefs. Overall, the Chiefs were the more popular team but many are still loyal to their favorite player – most likely Brady.
