As we’re just over 24 hours away from the kickoff of Super Bowl LVI, here are some key matchups to watch in the much-awaited matchup between the Cincinnati Bengals and Los Angeles Rams.

Bengals offensive line vs. Rams defensive line

Allowing nine sacks in a close win against the Tennessee Titans in the divisional round, the Bengals’ porous offensive line has struggled all season. They allowed 51 sacks during the regular season (the highest number of sacks in the NFL), and ranked 30th out of 32 teams in pass block win rate, hovering around 49%. Injuries to veteran right tackle Riley Reiff and second-year right guard Hakeem Adeniji have thrust rookies Jackson Carman and Isaiah Prince into starting roles for the upcoming Super Bowl. Rotational pieces on the right side of the line will only make it more difficult to stop the league’s best pass rush, led by the Ram’s three-time DPOY Aaron Donald and Super Bowl 50 MVP Von Miller. After debuting for the Rams in Week 10, Miller has recorded at least one sack in 7 of the last 8 games (including playoffs). Donald, on the other hand, is quite simply the most dominant force in football, and can win games single-handedly. After recording [what for him could be put as a down year] 12.5 sacks and 19 tackles for loss, Donald made yet another first-team all-pro. This game will be won or lost in the trenches.

Bengals wide receivers vs. Rams defensive backs

For the first time in NFL history, the Cincinnati Bengals are sporting a 1,000+ yard rusher in Joe Mixon, and two 1,000+ yard receivers in offensive rookie of the year (OROY) Ja’Marr Chase and second-year player Tee Higgins. Chase is a force on the field after being selected fifth overall back in April, and his pairing with former LSU teammate Joe Burrow has been nothing short of exceptional. Higgins has filled in nicely alongside veteran Tyler Boyd, creating one of the most dangerous receiving tandems in football. On the other side of the ball, the Rams sport true lockdown corner Jalen Ramsey, who many believe is the best in the business. Veteran Eric Weddle has filled in nicely at the free safety position after coming out of retirement prior to this postseason. Ramsey rarely travels with one receiver, however, so pay attention to corners Darious Williams and rookie Dont’e Deayon. Nevertheless, the Rams will have to construct an effective plan to stop the Bengals’ triple threat.

Matthew Stafford vs. himself

 After spending twelve years in Detroit, Rams’ quarterback Matthew Stafford went 0-3 in playoff games and registered little success. Since being traded to the Rams, Stafford looks to become the first quarterback in NFL history to win the Super Bowl in his first season with his new team. Stafford has registered playoff wins over the Arizona Cardinals, San Francisco 49ers, and a clutch 30-27 victory over Tom Brady and the defending champion Tampa Bay Buccaneers. However, in spite of his playoff success this season, Stafford has had interception problems in the past— he led the NFL in interceptions and pick-sixes this season, and struggled with interception issues during his time in Detroit. Stafford needs to function within the Sean McVay offense one last time, and not put his team in jeopardy. The Bengals defense has forced a turnover in the fourth quarter or overtime in every playoff game.
