Super Bowl LVIII Features Two Former Rams Players – NFL Tracker

FEB 11 RAMS IN SUPER BOWL The Los Angeles Rams might not have made it to Super Bowl LVIII, but there is still a reason for fans to tune in.

Taking part in the big game on Sunday will be two former Rams players – and now San Francisco 49ers – defensive tackle Sebastian Joseph-Day and backup QB Brandon Allen.

Joseph Day was with the Rams from 2019-2021, helping the Rams on the quest for their Super Bowl LVI win. In that time, he played in 39 games, starting 38, making 137 tackles, six sacks, nine tackles for loss and 14 QB hits.

Allen was with L.A. for two seasons in 2017 and 2018 but never saw the field.

FEB 6 MAHOMES LIKES STAFFORD The Kansas City Chiefs are set to face off against the San Francisco 49ers in Super Bowl LVIII on Sunday.

Arguably the biggest star of the show that day – outside of Taylor Swift – will be Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes, who is looking to capture his third Super Bowl title.

“If there was one quarterback… I loved watching Aaron Rodgers, I liked watching Brett Favre, I liked watching Matthew Stafford,” Mahomes said. “Guys that were kind of extending plays, making plays happen. I liked watching Tony Romo a ton, growing up in that East Texas area.”

Mahomes and Stafford nearly faced off in Super Bowl LVI. And were it not for some heroics by Bengals QB Joe Burrow, who brought Cincinnati back from a 21-3 deficit to win the game, they would have.

Instead, Mahomes watched Stafford hoist the trophy, using it as motivation for the following season, when he would bring it back to Kansas City.

JAN 28 49ERS TO SUPER BOWL LVIII The Los Angeles Rams NFC West arch-rival San Francisco 49ers are on their way back to the Super Bowl, coming from behind and knocking off the Detroit Lions 34-31 in Santa Clara.

The Lions, who at one point were led by former Rams QB Jared Goff, led by a commanding 24-7 margin heading into the half.

However, a big third quarter from the 49ers tied up the game, followed by a late decisive touchdown run from MVP candidate Christian McCaffrey to put the game away.

Goff ended the game 25 of 41 for 273 yards and a touchdown, with no interceptions, leading the Lions on their deepest run in the playoffs in more than three decades.
