ANALYSIS: Rams, Bengals provide surprise matchup, potential for high-scoring Super Bowl LVI
It's time for the crowning moment in any NFL season, the Super Bowl, and following an NFL play-off series filled with big upsets, we are left with a match-up that few expected.
But we are left with an intriguing match-up, of a rising star in the Bengals' Joe Burrow and a veteran quarterback in the Rams' Matthew Stafford — who for different reasons would not have even been mentioned as the QB pair for this game before the last 12 months.The NFL draft is designed to even things out and avoid teams of generational failure.
He was a solid but not brilliant quarterback, throwing 282 touchdowns in that time, averaging a tick over 23 touchdowns a season. But the team as a whole never shaped as a real contender. The man who led Louisiana State University to a national college championship before joining Cincinnati was given the nickname of "Joey Franchise", but after playing in six games in his rookie year Burrow tore two knee ligaments against Kansas City, ending his season.What did he do on return? in his first full season he threw for 34 touchdowns, but it's not just the positive numbers that are important, it's the ones that are normally seen as negative.
Then again, the spotlight on Kupp has some people forgetting the attacking ability of Odell Beckham Jr. OBJ made his name with the New York Giants, now he's playing second or third banana at the Rams, which only makes him more dangerous.The only reason people aren't shouting even louder about Ja'Marr Chase is Kupp's ridiculous numbers.
