What you need to know about the 2022 Super Bowl, which will be played this Sunday between the Cincinnati Bengals and Los Angeles Rams, teams looking to lift the Vince Lombardi Trophy.
What teams are playing?
The 2022 Super Bowl will be contested by the Los Angeles Rams and the Cincinnati Bengals, after these teams managed to be the two best teams during the playoffs.
The Rams’ (12-5) road to Big Sunday began with a 34-11 Wild Card Round win over the Arizona Cardinals, before facing Tom Brady’s Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the Divisional Round.
The last time the Super Bowl was played in LA.

Brady and the Bucs came close to completing an epic comeback, but the work of Matthew Stafford and company was enough for the Rams to win 30-27. In the NFC Conference Championship, Los Angeles beat the San Francisco 49ers 20-17, earning a ticket to the Super Bowl.
The Bengals (10-7) playoff path led them to face the Las Vegas Raiders in the Wild Card Round, winning 26-19, and then played the Tennessee Titans in the Divisional Round, winning 19-16.
Finally, the Kansas City Chiefs were their rival in the AFC Conference Championship, with Joe Burrow leading the Bengals’ comeback to win 27-24 and return to a Super Bowl, which they had not done since 1989.
No. 1 picks. 11 years apart.
