DeSean Jackson, who is still under contract with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers for another season, says he'd love to join the Los Angeles Rams.

Jackson made the comments when it was suggested on the Simms and Lefkoe Podcast that he could join the San Francisco 49ers.

"I don't know about Frisco, man. State tax is crazy, man," the receiver said. "That is home too though. I don't know. ... If anything, I would like to kind of end up in L.A., being a Ram. Sean McVay, you know, we got some connection from when I was in D.C., but we'll see how it plays out, man. Right now, I got another year in Tampa. So we'll see how it plays out, man."

Jackson, 32 is currently the oldest receiver on Tampa Bay's roster by seven years.

Headed to the Super Bowl in their third season back in Los Angeles, the Rams feel like they've transformed the city.

"It's a football town now," Aaron Donald said.

L.A. has 10 major sports franchises, including professional soccer.

Thousands of fans dressed in all shades of blue, white and gold sent the team off at a rally in Inglewood on Sunday.

"For being young in the sense that it's still growing, for us to have that showing the other day was special and it shows the backing that we have from our fans," Brandin Cooks added. "We thank them a lot and we look forward to hearing them loud and clear come Sunday."

There is some concern in league circles about the NFL's judgment in allowing four game officials who live in Southern California to work the NFC Championship Game between the Los Angeles Rams and New Orleans Saints, according to sources.

Those same four officials were the ones most responsible for the non-call on Nickell Robey-Coleman's early, helmet-to-helmet hit on Tommylee Lewis that was widely viewed as pass interference.

Officiating assignments are given to teams on Monday, and there were no complaints from either the Rams or Saints in advance, according to a league source.

An estimated $6 billion will be wagered by Americans on Super Bowl LIII, according to survey results released Monday by the American Gaming Association.

The game between the New England Patriots and Los Angeles Rams will be the first NFL title game since legal sportsbooks began popping up in states outside of Nevada.

Nearly 10 percent of American adults plan to bet on the Super Bowl in one way or another.

Greg Zuerlein strained his planting foot while warming up at halftime of the NFC Championship Game, but elected not to tell the Los Angeles Rams.

He went on to make two vital kicks in the fourth quarter and the 57-yard, game-winning field goal in overtime.

"Yeah, hit something hard in the ground. Just warming up at halftime, landed on something that didn't give as much as turf and then that's when it started hurting," Zuerlein said. "But, hopefully, a few more days of treatment and it'll be good to go."

Zuerlein missed practice Friday, but is carrying no injury designation heading into Super Bowl week.

Brandin Cooks caught seven passes for 107 yards in the NFC Championship Game, but it was one pass that he didn't catch that propelled the Los Angeles Rams to victory.

When the Rams took over possession following an interception in overtime, Jared Goff threw a third-down pass to Cooks, who was four yards behind the line of scrimmage.

When it appeared certain that the play would be blown up, Cooks dropped a perfectly thrown ball by Goff.

"Brandin Cooks, talk about a smart football player," Sean McVay said. "Having the presence when I give him a terrible play call on the third down to drop it, knowing that it would have been a terrible play where he intentionally drops it."

"I think it's one of those things where you see what happened, one of the D-ends and Marshon [Lattimore], the way that they played it, being able to be in the backfield before I technically really was able to catch the ball and get upfield," Cooks explained, "I think it was more important to save those yards, not that Greg (Zuerlein) needs them, but rather play it safe than sorry."

Zuerlein won the game with a 57-yard field goal on the next play. Had Cooks caught the pass, the attempt would have been more than 60 yards.

"Yeah, I was not aware at the time that he did that intentionally," Goff said. "Afterwards, I found out that that was a pre-decision. I probably shouldn't have even thrown it to him. I should've just thrown it at his feet. But yeah, it was smart. Saved us about four yards there, made that kick 57 (yards) instead of 61. I think Greg would've made it from there, but I don't think we want to even chance that. So it was a good decision by him."

While Sean McVay felt bad for the New Orleans Saints on the referees no-call on an obvious pass interference penalty, the Los Angeles Rams saw a blatant no-call against them on their previous drive.

A.J. Klein grabbed Jared Goff's facemack, which would have given the Rams a first down on the Saints' one-yard line to take a 24-20 lead. The Rams instead tied the game with a field goal.

“When you slow it down, clearly you can see some of the things that took place. If you want to do that on every single play, though, there’s a lot of instances. You want to slow some things down with a facemask on Goff, some different things,” McVay said. “What we try to do a good job of understanding is that it is an imperfect game.”

McVay also reflected on the no-call on pass interference.

“I’m not going to sit here and say there clearly wasn’t a little bit of contact before that ball actually arrived,” Rams coach Sean McVay said Monday. “But whether he catches it or not, there’s a lot of things that go into that. ... I feel bad for when it occurred in the framework of the game, but I thought (Saints coach) Sean (Payton) said it best: There’s a lot of other opportunities, and there’s a lot of things that do dictate and determine the outcome of the game.”

The early window Conference Championship game had its lowest television rating since 49ers-Falcons had a 26.1 in 2013.

The Rams' win over the Saints had a 27.1 rating on Fox, which was up from last year's Vikings-Eagles game in the evening window.

New England's win over the Chiefs had a 31.2 overnight rating, which is the highest overnight rating for the evening game since the Giants' win over the 49ers in 2012.

The Los Angeles Rams will wear their blue and yellow throwbacks in the Super Bowl.

Since returning to Los Angeles from St. Louis in 2016, the Rams have re-embraced the color scheme they owned from 1973-1999.

The NFC was previously designated as this year's home team for the Super Bowl.

The Patriots have worn their white jerseys in every Super Bowl they've appeared in since beating the Seahawks.

The New England Patriots are 1.5-point favorites over the Los Angeles Rams in Super Bowl LIII.

The Patriots opened as underdogs but that quickly changed with the early action overwhelmingly on them.

The SuperBook at Westgate Las Vegas said Sunday night that it was taking five bets on New England for every one bet on the Rams.
