Read it and keep: Rams will win the Super Bowl title in 2026

Who will defeat them?

Who will stop the irresistible attack? Who will score in a stubborn defense? Who will outwit the coaching genius?

Who can stop Rams on their thunderous march to the Super Bowl championship?

After another amazing Sunday afternoon at a noisy party Sophie Stadiumthe answer was clear.

Nobody.

Nobody can spar with the Rams. Nobody can run with the Rams. Nobody can compete with the Rams.

No one is talented enough, deep enough or smart enough to stop the Rams from winning their tournament. second Super Bowl championship in five years.

Nobody. It's over. It's done. The Rams will win it all, and before you scream about the evil eye, understand that this is just putting into words what many are already thinking.

Rams dominance in the second half A 41-34 Detroit Lions win should once again make the rest of the league realize that no one has a chance anymore.

Seahawks? Please. 49ers? No way. Eagles? They were grounded. Bears? Is this some kind of joke?

Patriots? Not yet. Broncos? Not yet. Bills? Never.

The Rams trailed by 10 points on Sunday before blowing away the Lions in the second half to reach the playoffs for the seventh time in nine seasons. Sean McVaytuning them for the lightest sporty ride.

With a win in Seattle on Thursday night, and yes, they should beat a team that barely survived. Old Man Rivers -Essentially, the Rams will be clinching the top seed in the NFC and home field advantage throughout the playoffs.

That means they only need to win two games at SoFi to advance to the Super Bowl at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara. This means they can win the championship without leaving California, three games played in an ideal climate to get the most out of their precision attack.

And as Sunday proved once again, they're good enough to win three near-home playoff games against anyone.

“I love this team,” McVay said.

There's a lot to love.

They have an MVP quarterback, the most versatile double-team offense in the league, an interior defense that gets stronger under pressure, and the one weapon no team can match.

They have Puka Nacuaand no one else does.

Is he incredible or what? He Cooper Coup in his prime, only faster and stronger. On yet another day, he caught a career-high 181 yards on a pass he couldn't cover and was barely tackleable.

“He's incredible,” McVay said. “He’s so tough, he just drags the guys along a couple of times… he represents everything we want to be… he’s like Pac-Man, just eating up the yards and making the catches.”

Pac-Man? The Rams even benefit from their old-school references.

All in all, it was another Sunday of absolutely fun football.

At one point they outscored the league's top scoring team 20-0, they beat the league's top team 159-70, they totaled 519 yards against a team once thought destined for a championship.

And they did it almost without smiling. Except Nacua repeatedly punched himself in the chest—can you blame him? – Rams are resilient, persistent and just so scary.

“All we want to do is go to work and find a way to get better,” said Matthew Staffordwho likely answered the crowd's cheers by winning MVP honors with 368 yards and two touchdown passes. “They're a fun group right now, but we know there's more to come.”

Many, many, many more.

This year a similar column appeared in this space relatively Dodgers. By the first round of the playoffs it was clear that they would rule the table.

same feeling here. The Rams look ruthless, unflappable and invincible.

“The guys just kept competing, staying in the moment,” McVay said.

This moment belongs to them. That was revealed late Sunday in the first half, which included a Stafford interception and a tough second-half play. The Vengeful Greatness of Jared Goff and a 10-point lead for the Lions.

The Rams then drove the ball nearly halfway across the field in 30 seconds in a push that featured Stafford and Nacua at their best. Stafford connected with Nacua on a brilliant 37-yard pass in the final moments that led to a 37-yard field goal by Harrison Mevis, cutting the lead to seven.

“Right before that, I told the guys, ‘Let’s steal three,’” Stafford said.

It turns out they stole the game.

“One of the key, defining moments,” McVay said of that late first-half kick that led to a superb third quarter that capped a fired-up Lions.

“We never panic” Blake Choir said. “Because we know… what we have to offer.”

What they increasingly bring is a running attack that perfectly complements a stunning passing attack, as evidenced on Sunday by Corum and Kyren Williams combining for 149 yards and three touchdowns.

The Lions' more vaunted defensive backfield in Jameer Gibbs and David Montgomery? Seventy yards and one point.

“We push each other to the limit,” Corum said of Williams.

What was potentially alarming was how it could be seen that Rahm may have gone beyond his limits as a receiver. Davante Adams limped off the field early in the fourth quarter after apparently re-injuring a troublesome hamstring.

Losing him in the playoffs would be catastrophic as he opens up space for Nacua and is an almost automatic toucher from the five-metre line and closer.

Again, he will have a month to recover. And the Rams still have a grueling streak for tight ends, led Sunday by the hot touchdown pass of Colby Parkinson, who caught passes for 75 yards and two scores, including one inexplicable touchdown in which he apparently fell at the one-yard line.

The Rams got lucky there. But even if the right choice had been made, they would have scored in the next two games. The way the Rams attacked, they could score all night.

“You knew it was going to be a game where there were going to be a lot of good interactions,” McVay said. “You had to know that the points would be very important for us and that our guys performed very well.”

Just wait. By the end of the season, McVay's boys will deliver a trophy that is much more than that.

It rhymes with Strombardi.
