LOS ANGELES — Van Jefferson won the Super Bowl on Sunday, and it wasn’t even the best part of his weekend.

The Rams’ receiver welcomed a newborn son hours after Los Angeles beat the Cincinnati Bengals 23-20.

Jefferson’s wife, Samaria, attended the Super Bowl, but left on a stretcher during the game after going into labor. Samaria had already told the Rams not to tell her husband if their second child decided to arrive during the game.

After the Rams finished off Cincinnati, Jefferson rushed to the hospital to join her, later posting a photo of himself holding his son.

Jefferson had four catches for 23 yards in the Rams’ victory over the Bengals to complete his second NFL season.

The Florida product started all 21 games for Los Angeles, and he was the Rams’ second-leading receiver by yardage during the regular season with 50 catches for 802 yards and six touchdowns. He added nine catches for 102 yards in the playoffs.

ODELL BECKHAM JR.’S Super Bowl knee injury could impact his availability next season.

The Rams’ star wide receiver is believed to have torn his ACL again, according to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport.

Beckham hurt his surgically repaired left knee with 3:54 left in the first half of the Rams’ 23-20 win over the Bengals in Super Bowl LVI.

Quarterback Matthew Stafford threw behind Beckham, forcing him to slow down and turn back. Beckham then yelped in pain and lost control of the football before dropping to the floor and clutching his knee.

Beckham tore the ACL in that knee during the 2020-21 season, when he was still with the Browns.

The average time to return from ACL surgery for most athletes is around eight months to a year, per the Mayo Clinic.

Beckham, who becomes a free agent, should still be riding the high of his first Super Bowl championship.

If he did, in fact, tear his ACL again, that means he likely won’t play his next season, whether with the Rams or another team, until the 2023-24 season.

DOLPHINS: The Miami Dolphins found their offensive coordinator under first-time head coach Mike McDaniel.

Los Angeles Chargers run-game coordinator and offensive line coach Frank Smith landed the job, a league source confirmed.

Smith interviewed for the job on Saturday and was the third known candidate after other reports named Atlanta Falcons quarterbacks coach Charles London and New Orleans Saints wide receivers coach Curtis Johnson, who had a previous decade-long stint in the same role with the Miami Hurricanes, as those up for the offensive coordinator vacancy.
