(NEXSTAR) – The Los Angeles Rams and the Cincinnati Bengals are taking to the field Sunday for Super Bowl LVI. While there have been 56 Super Bowls, there are still a dozen teams that haven’t brought home their own Lombardi Trophy – including the Bengals.

That’s right, history could be made Sunday in L.A. if the Bengals win. And if you’re really particular, the Rams haven’t technically won a Super Bowl as the Los Angeles Rams. The Rams franchise won Super Bowl XXXIV in 1999 while the team played in St. Louis.
