Sean McVay
Sean McVay (born January 24, 1986) is an American football coach who is the head coach of the Los Angeles Rams of the National Football League (NFL). Upon his hiring in 2017 at the age of 30, he became the youngest head coach in modern NFL history. He was the offensive coordinator of the Washington Redskins from 2014 to 2016. He was named the AP NFL Coach of the Year in his first year of coaching, becoming the youngest person ever to win the award. After the Los Angeles Rams' appearance in Super Bowl LIII, McVay will become the youngest head coach ever to coach in a Super Bowl game.
2018–19 NFL playoffs
This will be the first Super Bowl since 2012 to feature neither top seeds from each conference, and the first time both number two seeds are involved. This will be the Patriots' third consecutive Super Bowl appearance. The Rams last made an appearance in 2001 when the team was based in St. Louis, coincidentally, facing the Patriots. The Patriots won that game 20–17 on a field goal, as time expired, by Adam Vinatieri. The Patriots' current head coach–starting quarterback tandem of Bill Belichick and Tom Brady are only active personnel left from the previous title game against the Rams. The Patriots are looking to win their sixth Super Bowl in 18 years (2001, 2003, 2004, 2014, 2016), and are trying to tie the Pittsburgh Steelers with the most Super Bowl wins, while the Rams are looking to win their second since 1999, which was coincidentally hosted by Atlanta, that would end a 20-year drought. This will be the Patriots' eleventh Super Bowl appearance (ninth under Brady and Belichick) and the Rams' fourth.
