The Los Angeles Rams enter Week 12 looking every bit like a championship contender. Winners of five straight and firmly planted near the top of the NFC standings, they have been driven by an efficient offense and a revitalized Matthew Stafford. Amid the team’s run, players have maintained a loose and confident atmosphere in the locker room.

That carefree energy surfaced again this week when veteran wide receiver Davante Adams made an appearance on The Fitz & Whit Podcast. Far from breaking down coverages or discussing the upcoming schedule, Adams shifted the conversation to a topic he has championed for years: Taco Bell. A longtime ambassador for the fast-food chain, Adams took the opportunity to reveal his personal top three menu items.

The discussion quickly drew attention online, showcasing Adams’ humorous and relaxed personality off the field. His playful rankings also underscored the unique relationship he has built with the franchise, one that extends beyond traditional player endorsements. For the Rams, it served as another example of a star player enjoying himself in the middle of a successful season.

While Los Angeles remains locked in on its pursuit of a deep postseason run, moments like these offer a lighter look at the personalities within a team that is playing with noticeable chemistry and confidence heading into Week 12.

1. Adams’ Rankings and Fast-Food Breakdown

During the interview, Adams did not hesitate when asked about his go-to Taco Bell order. He began with what he called an “easy” choice: the Crunchwrap Supreme, a long-time staple of his meals. He noted he prefers it without tomatoes, a detail that drew laughter from the hosts. For Adams, the item has been a favorite “forever,” as he put it. His second pick shifted toward a discontinued favorite — the Caramel Apple Empanada. Adams explained that he has actively pushed to bring the dessert back, noting its occasional appearances on Taco Bell’s rotating Y2K-themed menu. Though it was recently removed again, he assured listeners that it would eventually return. Rounding out his top three, Adams went with the Baja Blast Freeze or the limited-time Mango Whip Freeze. He described the latter as “one of the best slushies you’ll ever have in your life” when it’s available. His enthusiasm reflected the genuine enjoyment he has for the brand and its offerings. The conversation showcased the comfort and charisma Adams brings to media appearances, even when the topics have nothing to do with football. It also highlighted the authenticity of his long-running partnership with Taco Bell.

2. A Longstanding Partnership With Taco Bell

Adams’ fondness for Taco Bell has translated into years of collaboration with the company. He has appeared in multiple commercials, often tied to NFL kickoff campaigns or themed around his on-field explosiveness. The partnership has grown into one of the more recognizable player-brand relationships in the league. This season, Taco Bell took the connection even further by launching an immersive fan experience at SoFi Stadium for the Rams’ home opener. The setup was designed to mimic a Taco Bell-themed “home” for Adams, complete with a recreated restaurant space similar to those featured in his ads. The installation allowed fans to walk through interactive elements tied to Adams’ storytelling, offering a promotional twist that blended entertainment with the gameday environment. For both the team and the brand, it reinforced how seamlessly Adams fits into the Los Angeles sports and cultural landscape. Taco Bell’s Southern California roots add another layer to the partnership. Founded in Downey, just minutes from downtown Los Angeles, the chain has long been woven into the region’s identity. That connection makes Adams — and now the Rams — a natural fit for continued collaborations.

3. Rams Focus on Week 12 as Momentum Builds

Despite the lighthearted moment, Adams and the Rams remain locked in on their upcoming matchup against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The team sits at 8–2, holding one of the NFL’s strongest records as the second half of the season unfolds. With Stafford playing at an MVP-caliber level and the offense clicking, expectations continue to rise. The Rams’ ability to balance competitive intensity with an easygoing locker-room culture has been a hallmark of their season so far. Coaches and veterans alike have emphasized the importance of staying loose while maintaining discipline — a formula that has helped spark their five-game winning streak. Defensively, Los Angeles has also found its rhythm, complementing the offensive surge with improved consistency in coverage and pressure. The team appears to have fully stabilized after an up-and-down start, positioning itself as one of the most complete units in the NFC. As Week 12 approaches, the Rams will look to extend their momentum and strengthen their case as a legitimate Super Bowl threat — even as players like Adams continue to bring levity and personality to the team’s public presence.
