With a dramatic final comeback, the Los Angeles Rams beat the Cincinnati Bengals 23-20 on Sunday at their brand new SoFi Stadium and won the second Super Bowl title in their history.
A touch down of his stellar receiver Cooper Kupp with a minute and 25 seconds left gave the Rams their first championship since the one achieved in 1999, when they were based in St. Louis (Missouri).
The Rams thus succeed Tom Brady’s Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the record of the American Football League (NFL). Both are the only franchises to have won a Super Bowl title in their own stadium..
“I’m so proud of this team … There are so many guys on our team who deserve this, who gave their heart and soul to this team,” said quarterback Matthew Stafford, who found glory in Los Angeles. after 12 frustrating seasons with the Detroit Lions.
Cooper Kupp was crowned the best receiver in the league and was recognized with the MVP award (Most Valuable Player) of the final, with two touchdowns and 92 rushing yards.

The young Joe Burrow, considered one of the heirs of the retired Tom Brady, ended the game physically decimated and receiving a definitive capture from Aaron Donald on the last play of the clash.
“This hurts, but we’ve had a great year,” said Burrow, only 25 years old. “I was disappointed in my performance. I thought it might have given us a chance to win. But one lives and learns. (D)
