The Los Angeles Rams are Super Bowl favorites this season, but which team poses the biggest threat?<\/p>\n
Last season, the Rams\u2019 biggest opponent was the eventual Super Bowl champion, the Seattle Seahawks. Playing in the same conference, both teams faced off twice in the regular season and split the two games. After the regular season, the two teams met again in the NFC Championship Game. Seattle defeated the Rams 31-27, advancing to the Super Bowl and winning.<\/p>\n
The trilogy between the two teams made it clear that it was the NFL\u2019s best rivalry last year. After last season, the Rams are poised to beat any opponent and win the Super Bowl. Which team could be the Rams\u2019 biggest threat as Super Bowl favorites?<\/p>\n
While the Seahawks are the defending champions, they are a different team from last season. They lost several key players in the offseason, including Tariq Woolen, Boye Mafe, and Super Bowl MVP Kenneth Walker. They also lost offensive coordinator and play-caller Klint Kubiak, who was a key coach last season. Despite losing several key pieces from last season, they signed and drafted well. Also, they still have a lot of the same key players who helped them win the Super Bowl. Sam Darnold solidified his name as a top quarterback entering next season, and head coach Mike McDonald still has more to prove even after winning a title.<\/p>\n
The Commanders are a scary team, despite several injuries last year. Jayden Daniels was injured throughout the year,<\/a> which never allowed Washington to succeed. Coming off a five-win season, the Commanders are ready to return to the spotlight. In 2024, Daniels led the franchise to its first NFC conference game since 1992, solidifying his place as a top quarterback in the league. The team spent a lot of money improving the defense, including drafting phenom pass rusher Sonny Styles<\/a> out of Ohio State.<\/p>\n Head coach Dan Quinn\u2019s job might also be on the hot seat. Entering his third season, Quinn has done a good job, but another bad year with Daniels could signal a switch in leadership. The key to a successful season for the Commanders is keeping their franchise quarterback healthy. As long as he can play, the Commanders have a chance to win the Super Bowl.<\/p>\n Buffalo is always one of the best teams in the league because of Josh Allen. The former MVP is a top-five player and consistently shows up for his team year after year. The franchise fired former head coach Sean McDermott <\/a>after last season and promoted Joe Brady, the offensive coordinator. Brady joined the Bills in 2022 and became the offensive coordinator in 2023. While he is entering his first season as a head coach, he could be the answer for the Bills and get them over the metaphorical hump. The Bills also added D.J. Moore<\/a> to their receiving core along with several defensive players.<\/p>\n The new changes and additions give Allen another chance at reaching the Super Bowl, which has been his biggest question mark thus far in his career. The Bills are always contenders, and Allen could rewrite his career this season.<\/p>\n The Eagles are entering a crossroads season. Last year was filled with numerous questions, which resulted in a wildcard loss to the 49ers. They fired their offensive coordinator, Kevin Patullo, and hired former quarterback Sean Mannion as a first-time offensive coordinator. During the offseason, stories also alluded to the strained relationships and friction between Jalen Hurts, teammates, and coaches.<\/a>\u00a0It was reported that Hurts frequently changed calls, which ultimately failed and became hard to coach. His stubbornness inhibited the Eagles’ potential and caused chaos in the franchise.<\/p>\nWashington Commanders<\/h3>\n
