SUPER BOWL RECIPE

NFL.com’s Bucky Brooks says the Rams are one of five teams that are Super Bowl-ready in 2019 based on roster composition. According to Brooks, elite teams feature eight to 10 players who can contribute on both sides of the ball — and that’s just what the Rams have heading into year three under head coach Sean McVay.

Here’s Brooks’ breakdown of the defending NFC Champs:

Franchise quarterback: Jared Goff

Offensive playmakers: Todd Gurley, Robert Woods, Brandin Cooks

Offensive linemen: Andrew Whitworth, Austin Blythe, Rob Havenstein

Pass rushers: Aaron Donald, Clay Matthews/Dante Fowler Jr

Defensive playmakers: Eric Weddle, Aqib Talib, Marcus Peters

“L.A.’s rise to the top of the NFC has been fueled by Sean McVay’s play-calling brilliance and Les Snead’s savvy talent acquisition. The Rams have been major players in the free-agent and trade markets, and the bold moves have helped the team become a dominant unit in the NFC.”
