The Los Angeles Rams will have a three-headed rushing attack for Super Bowl LVI. The matchup between the Rams’ backfield and the Bengals defensive front is interesting considering that the Bengals have allowed over 100 rushing yards in each playoff game so far this post season and the Rams backfield (post-season) only hit the 100+ yard mark one time, in the wild-card blowout over the Arizona Cardinals.
With Cam Akers and Darrell Henderson back from injury, we can expect them to be the one-two punch from the backfield with Sony Michel as a change of pace.
In the month of December, before getting injured, Henderson was a top ten running back, averaging 4.6 yards per carry. Michel has done a decent job filling in as the starting back totaling 121 this post-season, but as soon as Akers returned from his Achilles tended injury, he took on the primary role with his explosiveness from the backfield.
