Despite being one of the best wide receivers since debuting in 2014, Davante Adams has never been to a Super Bowl.

Adams and the Los Angeles Rams are one win away from him playing in his first career Super Bowl, which he called a “mythical thing.”
“Just having been here so many times and understanding exactly what it takes to get where we’re ultimately trying to go,” Adams said Wednesday, via ESPN’s Sarah Barshop. “It’s obviously exciting to achieve the minor goals along the way that you ultimately need to do to get where you want to be, but yeah, [getting to a Super Bowl] just feels like almost like a mythical thing to me at this point. It’s tough not to think about that one,” Adams said. “A loss like that will last a long time. And we’ve got an opportunity to change that now. Being back in a position where you’re with a great team and in a great situation, you definitely have a greater appreciation for times like this for sure,” he said.
Davante Adams was a non-factor in the Rams’ win over the Chicago Bears, which could affect his confidence
In the Rams’ 20-17 overtime win over the Bears, Adams was a non-factor, posting a pedestrian 24 yards (two receptions) and scoring no touchdowns. Adams’ inability to be a viable option after the Bears locked down Puka Nacua (56 yards on five receptions) may affect his confidence heading into the game against Seattle.
Davante Adams needs to continue being a solid No. 2 option for Rams QB Matthew Stafford
With Puka Nacua being the No. 1 option in head coach Sean McVay’s offense, Adams has provided Stafford with a sturdy second option when Nacua isn’t open, catching for 789 yards (60 receptions) and 14 touchdowns. In the Rams’ two playoff wins, Adams was a non-factor, catching no touchdowns with a total of 96 yards (seven receptions).
The Rams are facing the best passing defense (128.0 yards) in the Seattle Seahawks after the Houston Texans got knocked out (127.5 yards). Seahawks head coach Mike Macdonald shut down the San Francisco 49ers’ offense in the Divisional Round, allowing no touchdowns and holding them to 252 total yards, which could happen against another top offensive team (375.5 yards) like the Rams.
Though Matthew Stafford is the likely NFL MVP (4,707 yards and 46 touchdowns) and can navigate a defense like the Seahawks’, Adams’ veteran savvy could help him break free of the Seahawks’ defensive backs and possibly lead the Rams to the Super Bowl.
