While there weren’t many expectations, the team went on to shock everyone and made it to the Super Bowl. While Odell started things with a bang, his night was cut short by a knee injury.

But it seems the Rams held their nerve and Matthew Stafford did his job to the best. Offensive player of the year Cooper Kupp came in big for the Super Bowl, going for 8 receptions for 92 yards and 2 touchdowns. He scored the decisive touchdowns that took the Rams up by three in the dying minutes of the game. Despite his injury, Odell is now officially a Super Bowl champion as the Rams see glory.
