Is it all new to them? Yeah, for 49 of the 53 it is. Is media night ridiculous? Yes. Were they nervous? Hardly. Especially Goff who is about as calm as they come 24/7. Strange filler piece by Plaschke....
And there's this, from
Bleacher Report's Mike Freeman:
The last time I saw a Super Bowl team as confident as the Rams appear to be against the Patriots, it was 2008.
In the week leading up to Super Bowl XLII, Giants wide receiver Plaxico Burress predicted his team would beat the Patriots, 23-17. Considering the Patriots had yet to lose that season, his prediction seemed absurd. Even Brady laughed.
But if you knew the Giants, you knew how much they believed they'd win, and sometimes belief is all it takes. Indeed, the Giants won, 17-14.
Until I saw the Rams this week, I hadn't seen that kind of confidence ever since.
That doesn't mean the Rams will win, but they think they can. And on this stage, that counts.
