With Super Bowl 53 finally set to get underway, which Patriots and Rams players will have the biggest impact on who wins the game?

There are many popular sayings, adages, and colloquialisms surrounding the game of football. People love to call it ” a game of inches;” to say that it will “be won or lost in the trenches;” and that “any given Sunday,” anything can happen – it just depends on which team (and which players) want it more.

All of this conventional wisdom is accurate, but never more so than at the Super Bowl.

Here, the game is featured under the brightest of spotlights. Hundreds of millions of people around the globe will tune into their television sets, laptop computer screens, tablets, or smartphones. Every decision, every play, every ounce of physical, mental, or emotional effort will be analyzed, scrutinized, and dissected – and possibly for years to come – because that’s the Super Bowl.

This is where legends are made, and where the victorious few etch their names in immortality forever.

Or will the Los Angeles Rams win their second league championship, bringing the Lombardi back to Southern California for the first time in decades?
