On February 3, the New England Patriots and the Los Angeles Rams will face off in Super Bowl LIII (53). The game will be played in Atlanta, Georgia. It will be the third year in a row the Patriots have competed in football’s biggest event. Last year, they lost to the Philadelphia Eagles.

Quarterback Tom Brady will lead the Patriots. The Rams will be led by quarterback Jared Goff. “I am very excited,” Goff told reporters after a playoff game on January 20. “We get to play in the Super Bowl, and we deserve it.”

The Rams won the Super Bowl once, in 2000. They were based in St. Louis, Missouri, at the time. The Patriots are five-time Super Bowl champions.
