The Rams are lead by 32 year old Head Coach Sean McVay who guided them to a 13-3 regular season record and the number 2 seed in the NFC. They beat the Cowboys in the divisional round after a 1st round bye. At Quarterback they have 3rd year pro Jarred Goff who after a very poor first season has become one of the better QBs in the league. On the defensive side of the ball Aaron Donald is probably the best defensive , if not best overall player in the NFL and totalled 20.5 sacks this season which is an incredible amount for a Defensive Tackle.

Any recommendations on where to watch the match? It's on CBS so every bar with a TV will have it on so I'd just be tempted to find somewhere you like to drink then go there on the day of the game. I was there for the division playoffs weekend last weekend and half the places I drank in had all the games on numerous screens. If you don't mind the Patriots then any of the bars near Professor Thoms in the East Village will be full of Pats fans as they'll try there then once it's full start to fill the places nearby. Even if you don't like them then it might be a better atmosphere to head down around there as then at least you're in a place filled with fans of at least one of the teams. We watched their game in Trionas on Third which had a decent mix of Pats fans and people who hate the Pats that made it a good place to watch the game. The bars around Times Square were all advertising Superbowl parties which sound like the worst place to watch them imaginable. Some of them were wanting $10-$40 a head cover charge to just get in too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steelmen Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 I could be completely wrong but i think it’s a penalty if they ‘obstruct’ the refs. So I suppose having a guy pull you out the way is better than losing yards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
