The last time Rams linebacker Akeem Ayers faced the Seattle Seahawks, he came away with a Super Bowl title.
After four-plus seasons with the Tennessee Titans, Ayers was traded to New England at midseason a year ago and played a role down the stretch as the Patriots captured their fourth Super Bowl title.
“Honestly, it doesn’t feel like the Super Bowl was all that long ago,’’ said Ayers, 26, who signed with the Rams during the offseason. “It was definitely a great experience for me, getting to go out with a bang.’’
On the play before the play in the Super Bowl, Ayers helped stop Seattle power back Marshawn Lynch at the Patriots’ 1-yard line.
