Super Bowl Showdown - Rams Vs Patriots
RAMS At the center of the offense for much of an MVP-caliber season, Todd Gurley was curiously limited in the Rams' NFC Championship win over the Saints, taking just four carries and spending almost the entire third quarter on the sideline. That was despite a 115-yard outing in the Divisional Round. Even so, quarterback Jared Goff probably remains the most vital to Sean McVay's offense, overcoming a shaky start to lead L.A. back in the Superdome and outplay Drew Brees down the stretch.

PATRIOTS There’s no one more famous or polarizing than the Patriots’ signal-caller, Tom Brady. Controversies have kept the Patriots’ critics alive for years, but that hasn’t stopped the 41-year-old all-star from racking up title after title. Going for ring No. 6 after a runner-up finish against the Philadelphia Eagles in Super Bowl LII, Brady has already rewritten the record books and enters this year’s culminating showcase with a familiar supporting cast, one that’s starred Julian Edelman and Rob Gronkowski for years.
