There will be a new king in the NFL. The Los Angeles Rams were eliminated from Playoff contention after losing to the Green Bay Packers in Week 15 of the 2022 season. Are the Super Bowl LVI champions the worst defenders of the title in history?
It has not been a very good season for the Rams. Even though they had a terrific run in 2021 to win the Super Bowl LVI, things got complicated this year and they won’t be able to become back-to-backchampions.
After a terrible 2022 campaign, the Rams will give their crown to another team. They were eliminated by the Packers, entering to a not so honorable group of the worst defending Super Bowl champions.
Which are the worst defending Super Bowl champions in NFL history?
With three games left in the 2022 NFL season, the Rams have said goodbye to ther hopes of becoming back-to-back champions. They had some bumps on the road and they weren’t able to solve them in order to keep their hopes alive.
If they are not able to win their last three games, the Rams will become the worstdefending Super Bowl champions in history. Their final record would be 4-13, which of course is not the best after what they did last year.
Nowadays, the NFL has changed a lot and the league has increased the amount of games played. As today, the Denver Broncos hold the title of the worst defending champions with a 6-10 record in 1999. They wonSuper Bowls XXXII and XXXIII with a compiled 26-6 record in regular season, but a year later they changed completely and finished last in the AFC West.
As a matter of fact, the Rams will have to AFC West teams in the end of their season. In Week 16 they will face the Broncos;then the Chargers and will end their season against the Seahawks. Will they be able to win at least one of those matches?
