Based on the final standings from 2021, the Los Angeles Rams will be going into the upcoming season with toughest strength of schedule.
It's been nearly 20 years since the NFL has seen a team win back-to-back Super Bowls and based on this year's strength of schedule, that's a drought that likely isn't going to end this season. The Rams have an SOS of .567, which not only gives them the most difficult schedule in 2022, but it makes them one of only two teams in the NFL -- along with the Cardinals -- that will have a strength of schedule above .540.
