How the Los Angeles Rams can make it to Super Bowl LIII

The Los Angeles Rams were one of many turnaround stories in the NFL in 2017-18. Now, the Rams must focus on making it to Super Bowl LIII in 2019.
Last season was nothing short of exceptional for the Los Angeles Rams. After a 4-12 record in their homecoming season in Los Angeles, the Rams rebounded with an 11-5 record and became one of the most fun teams to watch in the NFL.
The high-powered offense and Wade Phillips’ genius on defense gave the Rams the perfect combination to blow teams out of the water. Los Angeles won four games by more than 25 points this season and even dropped a 50-bomb on the New York Giants.
Todd Gurley and Aaron Donald were exceptional. Gurley and Donald won the AP Offensive and Defensive Player of the year awards, respectively. Gurley put together a 2000 yards from scrimmage season, Donald was one of the most menacing forces on defense. Sophmore quarterback Jared Goff was great, head coach Sean McVay was excellent.
Overall, it was a great season with a lot of fantastic takeaways for the Los Angeles Rams. However, the team still came up short in their first playoff game in 14 years and fell to the Atlanta Falcons 26-13.
Now, with that experience under their belt, the Los Angeles Rams should be one of the favorites to win Super Bowl LIII in Atlanta next year. Here are three things that can get them there.
