What to expect from this NFL game today?
This NFL game between the Rams and Bengals today has a lot on the line for both teams. Burrow has practically willed this team to a Super Bowl appearance, while his defense has managed some well-timed turnovers.
We saw what a cohesive offense could do to Cincinnati’s defense in the first half of the AFC Championship Game. Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes was on fire until the last 20 seconds of the first half. Outside of that 29 minutes and 40 seconds, the Bengals have teed off against mediocre QB play this postseason.
Now, however, the Rams defense will be teeing off against the Bengals’ disappointing pass protection. Facing a weak spot that has been evident all season, LA’s defensive line has the opportunity to have a Titans-like performance against Burrow in this NFL game today. Burrow was sacked 9 times against Tennessee in the Divisional Round.
The Rams defense is ready for their ring
While Jeffery Simmons, Bud Dupree, Denico Autry, and Harold Landry III create a fearsome pass rush in Nashville, it’s a step below what the Rams have at their disposal. The trio of Aaron Donald, Leonard Floyd, and Von Miller combined for 27 sacks and 38 tackles for loss.
Miller brings the experience of a former Super Bowl MVP to this defense. He also gets to chase some history. The LB registered 2.5 sacks in Super Bowl 50. He needs just 2 sacks in this NFL game today to tie Cowboys and 49ers legend Charles Haley’s career Super Bowl sack total of 4.5.

While the secondary hopes to lock down rookie WR Ja’Marr Chase, the Bengals will piece together a few drives. However, it won’t be enough to keep up with the Rams’ offense as Cincinnati fights off LA’s stifling defense.
Super Bowl 56 Prediction: Rams 31, Bengals 24
