Los Angeles Rams
After the 1994 NFL season, the Rams left California and moved to St. Louis, Missouri. Five seasons after relocating, the team won Super Bowl XXXIV in a 23–16 victory over the Tennessee Titans. They appeared again in Super Bowl XXXVI, where they lost 20–17 to the New England Patriots. The Rams played in St. Louis until the end of the 2015 NFL season, when they filed notice with the NFL of their intent to relocate back to Los Angeles. The move was agreed at an owners' meeting in January 2016, and the Rams returned to the city for the 2016 NFL season.
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.
