<h2 class="dom-traversal_domH2Tag__dn8KW">Los Angeles Rams 2022: News, Schedule, Roster, Score, Injury Report</h2>
The Los Angeles Rams have seen many iterations throughout the franchise's storied history that began in 1936. Originally billed as the Cleveland Rams, the franchise had a noteworthy run until making a move to Los Angeles in 1946. Chiefly, this made way for Paul Brown?s Cleveland Browns that took over the roost in Cleveland, Ohio.

<div class="jsx-2426310511 es-category-flex">
<div class="image-loader_es-image-loader-aspect-ratio__X6IHP"><img id="img-tag-node-img-loader-0" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/rams.jpg" /></div>
</div>
The franchise played out of the Memorial Coliseum in Las Angeles until moving into a reconstructed Anaheim Stadium in 1980. The Rams made their first Super Bowl appearance at Super Bowl XIV, where they fell to the Pittsburgh Steelers 31-19. Following the 1994 season, The Rams made a move to St Louis, Missouri, where they eventually clinched a championship ring.
The team won Super Bowl XXXIV in a dominant 23-16 win over the Tennessee Titans just 5 years after relocating. They soon followed up their Super Bowl appearance with a close-cut loss to the New England Patriots at Super Bowl XXXVI. After a successful stint in St. Louis, the franchise expressed an intent to move back to Los Angeles back in 2016.

<div class="jsx-2426310511 es-category-flex">
<div class="image-loader_es-image-loader-aspect-ratio__X6IHP"><img id="img-tag-node-img-loader-0" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/change-1.jpg" /></div>
</div>
The request to move back to LA was approved, and the Rams returned to their home city in time for the 2016 season. They would lose the Super Bowl rematch to the Patriots yet again, falling to a 13-3 score. The Los Angeles Rams play out of the SoFi Stadium alongside the Los Angeles Chargers after being the first to represent 3 cities in the NFL.

<h2 class="dom-traversal_domH2Tag__dn8KW">Los Angeles Rams Logo</h2>
The Rams have had several changes to their franchise motif over the years, and it?s no surprise why. The feature has been a Ram of different styles, with a heavy emphasis being placed on a pre-historic outline in the early days. Fans hold the 2000 iteration of the Rams logo design to be the very best alongside the eerily similar 2017 mark-up.

</div>
The present-day logo of the Los Angeles Rams ditched the namesake animal for a contemporary letter outline. The recent design has been met with some backlash, as some felt it looked far too ?corporate? for a famed football franchise.

<h2 class="dom-traversal_domH2Tag__dn8KW">Owner Achievements</h2>
Enos Stanley Kroenke is a billionaire businessman with his interest across several sports franchises apart from the LA Rams. His ownership comes through Kroenke Sports and Entertainment that serves as the holding company.

</div>
Silent Stan has an interest in the English Premier League?s Arsenal FC, as well as the NBA?s Denver Nuggets, to name a few. Additionally, Stan Kroenke has enjoyed majority ownership of ranches totaling 848,631 crores as well as the famed Screaming Eagle, a Napa Valley winery. His 2020 net worth is estimated to be in the ballpark of US $10 billion by Forbes.

<h2 class="dom-traversal_domH2Tag__dn8KW">Los Angeles Rams 2022 Sponsors</h2>
Samsung Electronics announced that Samsung QLED TV would be the official Television of the Los Angeles Rams. It is placed as the new in-house studio to enhance fan content and will be incorporated in the Rams? training facility. Additionally, Postmates has partnered up with the LA-based outfit as their official mobile ordering platform.

<h1 style="text-align: center">Cincinnati Bengals 2023 - Latest News, Schedule, Roster, Rumors, Injury Updates &amp; More</h1>
The Cincinnati Bengals are a football team based in Cincinnati, Ohio. They are a member of the North Division in the American Football Conference (AFC) of the NFL. Founded in 1968 by legendary head coach Paul Brown, the team has had its share of successes and challenges. Over the years, they've become a significant part of Cincinnati's identity and have left an indelible mark on the NFL.
<h2>Introduction</h2>
The Bengals' history is marked by many notable achievements and memorable players. Hall of Famer Anthony Munoz, widely regarded as one of the greatest offensive linemen in NFL history, spent the majority of his illustrious career protecting the team's quarterbacks. Boomer Esiason, Ken Anderson, and more recently, Andy Dalton, have donned the Bengals' jersey as star quarterbacks.

One of the most iconic figures in Bengals' history is wide receiver Chad Johnson, formerly known as Chad Ochocinco, whose flamboyant personality and incredible on-field performances made him a fan favorite. The Bengals' "no-huddle" offense, led by coach Sam Wyche, revolutionized the game in the late 1980s.

The Cincinnati Bengals were named after a fan contest, and their tiger-striped helmets quickly became one of the most recognizable symbols in the NFL. In recent years, the Bengals have shown promise, led by a new generation of talented players. Quarterback Joe Burrow, who won the Heisman Trophy in college, has brought hope and excitement to the team. The team's defensive unit, under the guidance of standout defensive lineman Geno Atkins, is known for its aggressiveness and ability to disrupt opposing offenses.

They made two memorable Super Bowl appearances in the 1980s, led by Wyche and legendary head coach Forrest Gregg. Their thrilling playoff runs and notable players have endeared them to fans across the nation.
