Matthew Stafford will be back and the majority of the team&#8217;s best players and coaches will all return for the 2026 season as well.<\/p>\n<p>So, it shouldn&#8217;t be a surprise to hear that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nfl.com\/news\/seven-biggest-super-bowl-windows-heading-into-2026-nfl-season\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:NFL.com&#039;s Bucky Brooks;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">NFL.com&#8217;s Bucky Brooks<\/a> ranked the Rams as the second-biggest Super Bowl window in 2026, behind only the defending champion Seattle Seahawks.<\/p>\n<p>Sean McVay&#8217;s brilliance as a leader and play-caller will keep the Rams in the hunt for as long as he roams the sidelines. The one-time Super Bowl winner has mastered the art of building a championship squad, mixing superstars with newbies and veteran pickups hoping to prove themselves in the NFL.<\/p>\n<p>Given the Rams&#8217; returning lineup and their coaching prowess, Super Bowl LXI could be a home game for the NFC heavyweights.<\/p>\n<p>It all comes back to the tentpole players for L.A.: Stafford, Puka Nacua, Davante Adams, Kyren Williams and the bevy of young defensive stars. They&#8217;re all back, healthy and hungry to play the Super Bowl at their home turf of SoFi Stadium.<\/p>\n<p>Advertisement<\/p>\n<p>That same team looked dominant for most of the 2025 season and only fell apart in the waning moments of the NFC championship game. L.A. finished with the NFL&#8217;s No. 1 scoring offense with the league&#8217;s MVP as well as a top-10 defense. So, it stands to reason that a repeat of that is possible in addition to whatever players the Rams add in free agency, the draft, and or the trade market.<\/p>\n<p>This article originally appeared on Rams Wire: <a href=\"https:\/\/theramswire.usatoday.com\/story\/sports\/nfl\/rams\/2026\/02\/15\/where-does-the-rams-super-bowl-window-rank-among-the-rest-of-the-nfl\/88693854007\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Where does the Rams&#039; Super Bowl window rank among the rest of the NFL?;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">Where does the Rams&#8217; Super Bowl window rank among the rest of the NFL?<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Los Angeles Rams are trending in the right direction ahead of the 2026 offseason after just missing&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":477316,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[436],"tags":[12549,49,48,18078,28607,1749,3150,514,18079,1739,82,19501,193534],"class_list":{"0":"post-477315","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-nfl","8":"tag-bucky-brooks","9":"tag-ca","10":"tag-canada","11":"tag-davante-adams","12":"tag-kyren-williams","13":"tag-los-angeles-rams","14":"tag-matthew-stafford","15":"tag-nfl","16":"tag-puka-nacua","17":"tag-seattle-seahawks","18":"tag-sports","19":"tag-super-bowl","20":"tag-super-bowl-lxi"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/477315","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=477315"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/477315\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/477316"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=477315"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=477315"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=477315"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
