Teacher versus student is just one of the many storylines of this weekend's Super Bowl LVI game. Bengals head coach Zac Taylor will try to match wits against his old boss, Rams head coach Sean McVay. Before being hired by the Bengals in 2019, Taylor was the Rams' quarterbacks coach and a part of the Rams' failed Super Bowl LIII quest.

Speaking of the head coaches, both are under 40, Taylor being 38 and McVay 36. This is the youngest head coaching matchup in the game's history, surpassing Super Bowl XLIII with Pittsburgh’s Mike Tomlin (36 years, 323 days old) and Arizona’s Ken Whisenhunt (46 years, 339 days old). Should the Rams win, McVay (36 years, 20 days on Sunday) would become the youngest head coach to win the Super Bowl, edging out Tomlin (36 years, 323 days old in Super Bowl XLIII).

This game, which features the No. 4 seeds from each conference, will also pit two starting quarterbacks drafted No. 1 overall for just the third time in Super Bowl history as Bengals’ Joe Burrow (2020) will try to have a stronger showing than the Rams’ Matthew Stafford (2009, Lions).

Although the Rams are considered the "visitors" in this game, they are paying in their home stadium, making this the second year in a row that a Super Bowl team is playing in its home stadium (2020 Tampa Bay Buccaneers). This is the second time the Rams are playing in a Super Bowl in their home state, joining the Oakland Raiders (SB XXXVII), San Francisco 49ers(SB XIX), and Bucs (SB LV).

Here is everything you need to know to watch, listen and bet on Super Bowl LVI.
