These Rams Super Bowl facts will make Cowboys fans cringe

The Los Angeles Rams are the winners of Super Bowl LVI. This is the first time the organization has won the Lombardi Trophy since 2000 (when they were the St. Louis Rams). Since 2000, the Rams have made three Super Bowl appearances. They lost in 2002 to the Patriots where Tom Brady won MVP. Then, the Rams lost again to the Patriots in 2019, in one of the most boring Super Bowl games ever. Lastly, they beat the Cincinnati Bengals last night to win it all in 2021.

The Dallas Cowboys on the other hand haven’t seen a Super Bowl game since 1996. That’s 26 years without the chance to win the trophy, let alone win it. Super Bowl XXX was between the Cowboys and the Pittsburgh Steelers. Dallas won 27-17 in Arizona. Jack Buck and Hank Stram called the game on CBS. Diana Ross was the halftime performer. Cornerback Larry Brown was the MVP.

Feel old yet? Or are you too young to even know who these people are? The point is, it’s been a really long time. RJ Ochoa, manager of Blogging The Boys tweeted out some insane Rams stats that will make you feel even worse.

In this first one, Ochoa points out that it has been so long since America’s Team won a Super Bowl (26 years), that the Rams have won the Lombardi Trophy as two different franchises since the last Dallas win. One as St. Louis and one as Los Angeles 22 years apart. Yikes.

Los Angeles Rams Super Bowl facts will make Dallas Cowboys fans cringe

That is a bit hard to fathom. The Rams won a Super Bowl, literally moved to another city and rebranded their entire organization, and won another Super Bowl before Dallas could. This next fact won’t make you feel much better either.

The Rams have three playoff wins in SoFi Stadium and the Cowboys have three wins in AT&T Stadium. Remember that last year was the first year that the Rams played in SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles. Jerry World, on the other hand, was finished back in 2009.

It took the Rams two seasons to win the same amount of home playoff games as the Cowboys were able to do at their home arena in 11 years. Not ideal. For a franchise with so much money, hype, and talent, Dallas really needs to figure out how to stage a resurrection. If not, the (shudder) New York Jets may win a Super Bowl before the Cowboys do.

There is some good news, though. The last time the Cowboys lost to the 49ers in the playoffs, Dallas won the Super Bowl the following year in Arizona. Guess where the Super Bowl is next year? Hopefully this is a coincidence that isn’t too good to be true.
