As the defending Super Bowl champions, the Los Angeles Rams will have the hardest schedule of any team during the 2022 season.
The Rams retained most of their star-studded roster from their championship run, and remain one of the title favorites after the NFC saw a perceived dip in talent across most rosters. With a core of Matthew Stafford, Cooper Kupp, Aaron Donald, and Jalen Ramsey back in the fold fans have to feel good about Los Angeles’ chances of repeating.
As is the case every year, there was much anticipation when the NFL announced the full 2022 season schedules for each team. Select games were previously announced as a teaser, but the Rams eventually revealed their schedule via their Twitter account:
Mark your calendars, Rams Fans! 😬

Prior to the 2022 NFL Draft, Los Angeles released a full production trailer about stealing it and they followed it up with another trailer featuring Terrell Burgess, who is tasked with stealing the schedule earlier:

The Rams get the honors of the 2022 season kickoff against fellow Super Bowl contender the Buffalo Bills, one of their six primetime games during the year. The others include Week 4 against the San Francisco 49ers, Week 14 against the Las Vegas Raiders, Week 15 against the Green Bay Packers, Week 16 on Christmas Day against the Denver Broncos, and Week 17 against the Los Angeles Chargers.
Other notable matchups feature games against the Dallas Cowboys, Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Kansas City Chiefs. The path to another Super Bowl looks arduous for the Rams, but given their collective talent and experience, it will be hard to bet against them as they look to defend their crown.
