Home/NFL

The Los Angeles Rams claimed the glory of the season and with that the Lombardi Trophy after a six-month-long struggle. However, it was all worth it in the end. Now that the NFL has released its 2022 opponents list, the Los Angeles Rams will meet their AFC counterpart Los Angeles Chargers for a regular-season matchup.

 

Although the date of the fixtures won’t release until mid-May, the league has already revealed that the Chargers will host the Rams for a home fixture. But since the SoFi Stadium is the sharing home field for both the teams, it will be interesting to see which team ends up calling it a home game.

It is believed that since the Rams have claimed the Super Bowl title, most of the Stadium will be there to support the Aaron Donald side. However, what will be even more interesting to see is the rise of the youngster Justin Herbert. Many believe him to be a dominating force next season, and what better way to test his dominance than watching him go against the defending champions.

The Rams are currently in a state of stress. Many players, including stars like defensive tackle Aaron Donald and tackle Andrew Whitworth, are measuring their chances of retirement and running it back. However, it is believed that Sean McVay will be able to retain most of his Super Bowl-winning members in the team. But will they be able to make it up there for the second straight year?

If the Rams keep intact for the 2022 season, then it will only be a menace for Justin Herbert to deal with that defense. It is believed to be on the best defenses in the league, courtesy of Aaron Donald, Von Miller, and Jalen Ramsey. And for a third-year player, to deal with them would be a mammoth task.

However, the Chargers might also get the likes of a rookie that could help them save a spot in the Super Bowl, just like as Ja’Mar Chase did to the Bengals. But that idea seems to be far-fetched. Would you bet on the Chargers against the Rams next season? Let us know in the comments below!
