Super Bowl 2022: Rams' difference-makers

Four players NOT named Matthew Stafford who could affect the outcome of the Super Bowl for the Rams:
COOPER KUPP, WR
He’s had an all-time great season for a receiver and is a definite Super Bowl MVP candidate. Kupp’s 145 catches and 1,947 receiving yards are the second-most ever. He also caught 16 TD passes. His postseason numbers are 25 grabs for 386 yards and four TDs.
AARON DONALD, DT
One of the most dominant players in the league, Donald can wreck the game by applying constant pressure on Joe Burrow. The only thing missing from the three-time Defensive Player of the Year’s resume is a Super Bowl victory.
JALEN RAMSEY, CB
He’s considered the best cornerback in the NFL, and Ramsey will have to live up to that title against Ja’Marr Chase and the Bengals’ talented receiving group. Teams don’t often throw at Ramsey. The 49ers did it just twice in the NFC Championship Game and Ramsey nearly picked off both.
VON MILLER, OLB
The Rams acquired the future Hall of Famer and former Super Bowl MVP from Denver in November just for this moment. Miller has seven sacks in his last seven games. All the attention Donald gets could pave the way for another big playoff performance for Miller.
