The Los Angeles Rams won the Super Bowl for the first time since 2000, and only the second time ever, as they sacked Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow a record eight times at their home stadium on Sunday night. The Rams overcame Odell Beckham Jr’s momentum-sapping knee injury with Cooper Kupp named the night’s MVP while QB Matthew Stafford became the sixth player in NFL history to throw for 6,000 yards in a single season. The franchise’s second Super Bowl triumph came thanks to a late turnaround led by Stafford and Kupp.
LA triumphed 23-20 over the Bengals at the £4billion SoFi Stadium in California thanks in large part to their defensive effort as they set a new Super Bowl record, sacking Cincinnati QB Burrow eight times.
The Rams had initially looked troubled in the NFL championship game without Beckham Jr on the field. But one fourth-quarter drive, led by Stafford and wide receiver and 2021 Offensive Player of the Year Kupp, ultimately took them to glory.
Beckham Jr’s worrying-looking knee injury – which came without any contact – had before that disrupted the momentum of the hometown Rams’ offense. But they rallied in the fourth as they made sure that Tyler Boyd’s fourth-quarter drop, his first of the season, proved costly for Cincinnati.
Stafford went into the final quarter with 44 game-winning drives on his record – the eighth-most in NFL history – and was looking to tie with Brett Favre on 45. And Kupp caught his pass with just 1:25 left on the clock for the former Detroit Lions talisman to do just that and get his first championship ring.

The telepathic link-up between the duo, which took them past the San Francisco 49ers in the NFC Championship game, was again the difference for LA.
The Rams’ NFL championship triumph completes a remarkable turnaround for the franchise, who are now the fourth-most valuable team in the league at around £4.5billion. That comes after being bought for around £550m by Stan Kroenke back in 2010 when they were based in St Louis, Missouri.
While the Bengals’ wait for a first Super Bowl goes on, the Rams’ second win comes three years after they lost the 2019 showpiece event 13-3 to Tom Brady’s New England Patriots in Georgia.
But it was far from simple, and they had to endure the setback of losing Beckham Jr to a scary knee injury in the first half. Stafford briefly succumbed to a knock himself in the second half but returned to the field unlike his team-mate.
Having managed 232 yards from 17 catches, without managing a touchdown, in the regular season with the Cleveland Browns, OBJ’s game-opening touchdown took him to 20 catches, 253 yards and two TDs in the postseason alone and he made another 35-yard catch before being forced off.

His score, with 6:22 left on the clock in the first quarter, meant the Rams had already tallied more points than in their Super Bowl loss to the Pats. They improved to 13-3 in the second quarter when Stafford found MVP Kupp for his first of his two TDs, although they couldn’t convert the extra two points.
Running back Joe Mixon helped the Bengals reduce the deficit to three points before half-time courtesy of a trick play as he found Tee Higgins for Cincy’s first touchdown of the game.
With just 3:54 left of the first half, Beckham Jr’s Super Bowl was then ended early. He went down clutching his left knee in pain in a worrying non-contact incident and did not return to the field.
Coming out of the interval 13-10 down, the Bengals matched the entertainment of a star-studded half-time show in a breathtaking first minute of the second half.
They needed just 12 seconds for second-year QB Burrow to find Higgins for a 75-yard touchdown with the wide receiver getting away with a possible face mask call on Jalen Ramsey.

And on the Rams’ very first offensive play of the second half, Stafford was picked off by Chidobe Awuzie to give the Bengals the ball straight back.
An Evan McPherson field goal temporarily stretched the underdogs’ lead to seven before a Matt Gay field goal made it 20-16 in Cincinnati’s favour with a little less than half of the third quarter remaining.
The Rams inflicted seven second-half sacks on Burrow with one in the fourth quarter leaving the Bengals star down in pain. He limped off the field before returning but even with their QB back out there with the ball back in his hands, Cincinnati could not carve through the Rams.
Boyd’s rare drop, despite being in space, forced a punt that gave the ball back to LA with 6:13 still to play. And the Rams made the Bengals pay through Stafford and Kupp.
Cincinnati sought a late response but Burrow was hauled down by future Hall of Famer Aaron Donald for the Rams’ eighth sack of the night. That was at fourth-and-one with 43 seconds remaining and was the death knell on the Bengals’ hopes of a first Super Bowl triumph.
That means the team who has won the coin toss has now lost the last eight Super Bowls, the last winner being the Seattle Seahawks in 2014.
