The Los Angeles Rams are hoping to advance to their second Super Bowl in five seasons (winning it all in 2021) but will have to get past one of the best defenses in the league in the Seattle Seahawks (236.0 yards per game).
The Rams have a slight advantage against the Seahawks’ defense, with MVP front-runner Matthew Stafford (4,707 yards and 46 touchdowns), under center and their offensive genius head coach, Sean McVay, calling plays. McVay could join some elite company if he leads his Rams to a win over the Seahawks.
According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, McVay would become the fourth head coach, along with Bill Belichick, Bill Parcells (Hall of Fame), and Dan Reeves, as the only head coaches to win each of their first three conference championship games since the 1970 merger. McVay would also become the youngest head coach to reach his third Super Bowl, turning 40 years old on Jan. 24, the day before the NFC Championship Game.
In his nine seasons as the Rams’ head coach, McVay has a record of 92-57 and won Coach of the Year in 2017 with an 11-5 record.
