Fans can’t hold back as Super Bowl LVI is closer than ever, the big game will be played on February 13 at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California. Almost all tickets are sold, but some websites offer a ticket for up to $30,000. Both teams are ready and the Rams and Bengals have all the contingency measures in place in case something bad happens to their starting quarterbacks.
Anything can happen in the days leading up to the Super Bowl, life can surprise Stafford or Burrow with the flu or a muscle tear from trying to change a light bulb at home. Anything, extreme or not, can affect starters’ health before the big game. But what if the worst happens during the game, teams must be ready with a backup.
Burrow or Stafford are unlikely to miss the big game of the year, those two are willing to play with a broken arm, but that’s not a good idea, the team would be affected by the poor performance of an injured quarterback.
