Los Angeles, CA – In a simulated 2025 NFL season run by ESPN’s Football Power Index (FPI), the Los Angeles Rams emerged victorious, defeating the New England Patriots in Super Bowl LX. The simulation, one of 10,000 conducted by ESPN, projected the entire playoff picture and crowned the Rams as champions after a hard-fought season.
The Rams, initially struggling after a Week 16 loss, rallied to secure the NFC’s No. 1 seed with wins over the Falcons and Cardinals. The defense was helped by a late-season surge, and the team capitalized on losses by other NFC contenders.
The AFC saw the Denver Broncos claim the top seed, leading the Patriots to the #2 spot, ultimately, both would go on to be defeated by the Rams.
The playoffs were filled with upsets, including the Buffalo Bills being ousted in the Wild Card round by the Pittsburgh Steelers, and the Seattle Seahawks falling to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
In the Super Bowl, a rematch of Super Bowl LIII, Rams wide receiver Puka Nacua delivered a stellar performance, earning MVP honors with 8 receptions for 143 yards and two touchdowns. A late-game sack sealed the victory for Los Angeles, denying the Patriots a final drive.
While a simulation, the FPI provides valuable insights into potential playoff scenarios and highlights the Rams’ potential to contend for the Super Bowl in the upcoming season.
