The team plays its home games at Gillette Stadium in the town of Foxborough, Massachusetts, which is 28 miles (45 km) southwest of downtown Boston.
The Patriots are also headquartered at Gillette Stadium. An original member of the American Football League (AFL), the Patriots joined the NFL in 1970 as part of the AFL–NFL merger. The team changed its name from the original Boston Patriots after relocating to Foxborough in 1971. The Patriots played their home games at Foxboro Stadium from 1971 to 2001, then moved to Gillette Stadium at the start of 2002.
The Rams
The Los Angeles Rams are a professional American football team based in the Los Angeles metropolitan area. The Rams compete in the National Football League as a member club of the league’s National Football Conference West division. The Rams franchise was founded in 1936 as the Cleveland Rams in the short-lived second American Football League before joining the NFL the next year. In 1946, the franchise moved to Los Angeles. The Rams franchise remained in the metro area until 1994, when they moved to Anaheim. The team returned to Los Angeles in 2016.

The Game
The National Football League (NFL) is a professional American football league consisting of 32 teams, divided equally between the National Football Conference (NFC) and the American Football Conference (AFC). The NFL is one of the four major professional sports leagues in North America, and the highest professional level of American football in the world. NFL games are divided into four quarters, each of which is 15 minutes long.
The Venue
The game will be played at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California, home of the San Francisco 49ers. With a capacity of 68,500, it is the largest stadium in the NFL. The stadium is located about 40 miles south of San Francisco.
The Weather
The Weather can have a significant impact on the outcome of an NFL game. The elements that can affect the game are wind, rain, snow, and ice. Factors like these can create difficult playing conditions for both teams. Let’s take a look at how each of these weather conditions can affect an NFL game.
Wind:
Wind can affect both kicking and passing in an NFL game. Strong winds can cause passes to sail and make it difficult for kickers to make field goals. In some cases, strong winds can even cause punts to be blown back towards the line of scrimmage. Wind is definitely a factor that both teams have to account for when playing in windy conditions.
Rain:
Rain can make it difficult for both teams to grip the ball and maintain control while running or catching. In addition, rain can make it harder for quarterbacks to see downfield when throwing passes. Because of these factors, rain usually has a negative impact on the score of an NFL game.
Snow:
Snow can be a major factor in an NFL game since it can affects both traction and visibility. Snow makes it difficult for players to get traction when running or changing directions. In addition, snow can fall into players’ eyes and obscure their vision while they are trying to play. Because of these factors, snow usually has a negative impact on the score of an NFL game.
Ice: Ice is one of the most dangerous weather conditions that players have to deal with during an NFL game. Ice makes it very difficult for players to maintain their footing while running or changing directions. In addition, ice can cause players to slip and fall which could lead to serious injuries. Because of these factors, ice usually has a negative impact on the score of an NFL game
