The Los Angeles Rams defeated the Cincinnati Bengals 23-20 Sunday in Super Bowl LVI at their home field, SoFi Stadium. Quarterback Matthew Stafford led the way for Los Angeles, throwing for 283 yards and three touchdowns. Wide receiver Cooper Kupp was named Super Bowl MVP.
The Rams took the lead with 1:25 remaining in the game on a one-yard pass from Stafford to receiver Kupp. The catch capped off a 15-play, 79-yard drive that took nearly five minutes off the clock. On the ensuing drive, the Rams’ defense came up with a stop on fourth-and-one to clinch the game.
At 36-years-old, Rams coach Sean McVay became the youngest coach in NFL history to win a title with Sunday’s victory. The Rams’ win also marked the second straight year that the Super Bowl champions won in their home stadium. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers became the first time in NFL history to accomplish the feat last year by winning Super Bowl LV in Raymond James Stadium.
