“I know in the moment I didn’t know what to think. I was just a little emotional and so happy to be a world champ. And so happy to be a part of this group.

That’s the biggest thing. /> “It’s not me, it’s not any individual on this team. We’re a group, we’re a team.

And to get it done together was so special.” The Rams are only the second team in history to win a Super Bowl in their own stadium after the Tampa Bay Buccaneers achieved the feat last year. They also do so six years after returning to LA from St Louis, and in the first season after trading for Stafford and parting with 2016 No 1 overall pick Jared Goff. Odell Beckham was another recent Rams acquisition, picked up as a free agent in November, and he scored the first touchdown of the Super Bowl before suffering a knee injury that ruled him out of the rest of the game.
