There is no shortage of stars or storylines between these two teams. The Rams franchise is playing in a Super Bowl for the second time in four years and aims to win its first Super Bowl since 2000. The Bengals, who have reignited the city of Cincinnati and won their first playoff game since 1991 this postseason, are playing in the big game for the first time since 1989.
