The Rams and the Patriots have both landed in Atlanta ahead of the Super Bowl on Sunday, but fans in Los Angeles are still feeling the excitement.
Rams defensive coordinator Wade Phillips caught people’s attention when he stepped off the plane wearing a coat and cowboy hat just like his father, Bum Phillips, who coached the Saints and Oilers.
Wade was always close with his dad, and even goes by @SonOfBum on Twitter.
