The Los Angeles Rams punched their ticket to Super Bowl LVI on Sunday night with a comeback win against the San Francisco 49ers. They’ll now face the Cincinnati Bengals in the big game two weeks from now as Sean McVay seeks his first championship.
The Rams are the second team ever to play the Super Bowl in their home stadium, joining the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, who hosted the Kansas City Chiefs at Raymond James Stadium last year.
What’s unique about this game, though, is that the Rams will actually be the road team in the Super Bowl. The NFL alternates home and away teams for the Super Bowl by AFC and NFC each year, and because the Bucs were the home team last year, the Rams will be the road team this time.
That doesn’t have major implications, but it does allow the Bengals to make the choice of which uniforms they will wear. The Rams will get to call the opening coin toss, however.
