OBJ was having a great game until he got injured.
Changed the game for Rams dramatically
With no run game and their very good TE, they could not afford to lose OBJ….who had been playing well lately.

Being down almost everyone but Kupp, that was an impressive game-winning drive led by Stafford.
15 plays and 79 yards
Tip of the cap to them

Fair play to Stafford. He shut up his doubters. Clutch last drive. First interception was essentially an arm punt so well worth the shot and second interception on the receiver.
No doubt.
That was a world class, against all odds, SuperBowl game -winning drive.
Beautiful work by him and Kupp.

Rams are built to win in 2021 and 2022. They probably lose Von Miller and OBJ but will get back Robert Woods. As long as Aaron Donald doesn't retire, they should be back in the Super Bowl.

Matt Stafford set the NFL record this year with 14 4th Quarter TD passes and 0 interceptions
He led the league in 4th quarter Passer Rating and just did it again in the Super Bowl

Said the same about Tampa Bay...how that work out? Gonna laugh when Stafford announces his retirement...and they owe the Lions 2 #1s

Right but they already were on 5. All calls legit. The ref whining here is plain stupid. The only bad call was Rams getting screwed on a TD where a WR face masked the DB
No. The holding call on Wilson the Bengals was bad too. You don't go the whole game letting **** go and then all of a sudden start throwing flags on ticky tack calls because it's the 4th quarter or that the game was close. That is bs.

The refs turn a blind eye all through the game except for the few minutes when they miraculously regain better than 20/20 vision.

OMG!

Yeah I didn't like that one call on the LB was it? Over the middle near the endzone? No reason for that call, especially since there was no grabbing of the jersey. But you know, the LB could have helped himself out by not being so handsy with the WR. He didn't need to do that. He still would have been in position to knock it down. But yeah, crap call.

If the Rams hang on Kupp is the games MVP.

I know he got it. He deserved it. But down the stretch that Rams defensive line came up big. They were a big part of the reason the Rams won. I got to give credit to Burrow to for standing in there. Didn't make any dumb throws and had a lot of poise in the pocket for a 2nd year QB.

Hope the Rams sent the refs some of their money for "winning" the game yesterday.

Nothing spectacular about the game last night. Aaron Donald and Cooper Kupp were the best players on the field. Burrow never really had a chance to get it going, but give him credit for playing as well as he did with that OL in front him. Mixon also played well for the Bengals and should have been given that 3rd and 1 tote on their last drive.

I was surprised the Bengals didn't let the Rams score on that 1st and goal from the 1 after the PI penalty. Wasted a T.O. and time off the clock playing for a second down.

Now, withdrawals for 6 months.

Well, now the Rams are 2-3 in super bowls and the Bengals 0-3. Lots of losing, but at least they're getting there.
