For the second week in a row, the Los Angeles Rams’ playoff opponent will be a team they already beat in the regular season. It yielded a positive result this past week when they beat the Arizona Cardinals, and they hope to have the same fortune on Sunday against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
All the way back in Week 3, the Rams beat the Bucs convincingly, 34-24. It snapped Tampa Bay’s nine-game winning streak dating back to 2020, giving the Rams a statement win against a quality opponent. Beating Tom Brady twice in one season is always difficult, but the Rams have beaten him in back-to-back meetings already, so they have the formula for an upset.
Here’s how they can use their Week 3 win as a blueprint for knocking off the Buccaneers for the second time this season.
