The Rams 2022 Super Bowl Run
The Los Angeles Rams made it to the Super Bowl in 2022, but unfortunately, they came up short against the New England Patriots. However, that didn’t stop the internet from creating some hilarious memes about the team. One of the most popular memes was the “Sad Rams Fan” meme, which featured a fan crying after the team’s loss. The meme was shared thousands of times on social media, and even made its way onto mainstream news outlets.
The “Gronk Spike” Meme
During the Super Bowl, New England Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski scored a touchdown and celebrated by spiking the ball into the ground. The celebration was so iconic that it sparked a meme featuring a Photoshopped image of Gronkowski spiking everything from a watermelon to a baby. The Rams weren’t directly involved in this meme, but it’s worth mentioning because it was one of the most popular memes from the Super Bowl.
The “Todd Gurley’s Knee” Meme
One of the biggest storylines leading up to the Super Bowl was the health of Rams running back Todd Gurley. Gurley had been dealing with a knee injury for most of the season, and rumors swirled that he may not be 100% for the big game. This led to the creation of the “Todd Gurley’s Knee” meme, which featured humorous images of Gurley’s knee being held together by tape or being replaced with a robotic leg. Despite the injury concerns, Gurley played in the Super Bowl and rushed for 35 yards on 10 carries.
