Rams wide receiver Cooper Kupp catches the game-winning touchdown pass in the fourth quarter of Super Bowl 56.īut the momentum swung shortly before halftime. He’d strike again as Kupp faked a block before hauling in an 11-yard touchdown in the second quarter. The Rams were on the board first, Stafford hitting fellow 2021 acquisition Beckham on an airborne 17-yard touchdown with 6:22 to play in the first quarter.
He said the “up and down” game resembled the Rams’ inconsistent season and perhaps they even hearkened to Stafford’s high-octane but mistake-prone performances in a season replete with 41 touchdowns but 17 interceptions.Īnd yet, like his regular-season wave, Stafford built a cushion early and would deliver late when he mattered most. Stafford completed 26-of-40 passes for 283 yards, three touchdowns and two interceptions. The victory provided at least short-term validation for the Rams’ all-in approach, with the club having traded a slew of draft picks to acquire Stafford, outside linebacker Von Miller and wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers last season became the first team to do it. With a strong presence of Rams fans in the crowd of 70,048, the team became only the second to win the Lombardi Trophy in its home stadium. It was the Rams’ second Super Bowl title in franchise history, with the first coming in 2000. “For the offense to be able to find a way and Aaron to finish it off,” head coach Sean McVay said, “is poetic.” But would the Bengals answer? Three-time Defensive Player of the Year Aaron Donald ensured Cincinnati wouldn’t when he wrapped up Burrow on 4th-and-1 to seal the win with 39 seconds to play. Quarterback Matthew Stafford found star receiver Cooper Kupp for the go-ahead, 1-yard touchdown with 1:25 to play. The Los Angeles Rams beat the Cincinnati Bengals 23-20 in Super Bowl 56 Sunday at SoFi Stadium.
