The 3 stats that will define Super Bowl LVI

One big game. Three big stats.

Super Bowl week is always superfluous with one characteristic: Overanalysis.

The lead-up to Bengals (+4.5) and Rams — one odd Super Bowl to have on paper — has been no different. The usual overabundance of narratives and breakdowns and extended conversations about what can and will and might and should happen has been nonstop, utterly superfluous. All you can do is hope for a good game at a certain point.

On that note, there’s no need to put too much more thought into what will or could happen between Joe Burrow and Matthew Stafford’s bunches. Let’s make it simple, and let me put your mind at ease with three short numbers that ultimately tell us everything about Super Bowl LVI.
