Super Bowl 56
February 22, 2022
With the 2022 NFL playoffs now completed, a spectacular half-time show by Dr. Dre, Kendrick Lamar, Eminem, Snoop Dogg, Mary Blige, 50 Cent, and Super Bowl 56 going to the Los Angeles Rams, let’s take some time and rewind on some of the best plays, and player performances of this year’s SuperBowl.
The Rams enter this game with a well-built all-around roster, going against a young Bengals team led by QB Joe Burrow. The game starts with a few back-and-forth possessions, and the LA Rams are first to score with a beautiful pass from QB Matthew Stafford to receiver Odell Beckham Jr. Following that, QB Joe Burrow’s long pass to his receiver Ja’Marr Chase set them from their 35-yard line to the opponent 10. However, the Rams defense managed the Bengals to not score a touchdown but settle for a field goal making the score 7-3 sending them to the second half. The Rams are then quickly to score entering the second quarter and attempting a two-point conversion but fail at it making the match 13-3. Trying to aim for a two-point conversion in all honesty had no logic. Plays like that make me believe matches are scripted. Nevertheless, it was too early to say the Rams were gonna run away with this one because the Bengals retaliate and score one of their own 13-10. As the game continued and the second quarter was coming to a close, receiver for the Rams Beckam Jr. suffered an ACL injury making him exit the game. QB Matt Stafford throws another long shot all the way into the in-zone but has it intercepted by safety Jessie Bates III. Neither the Bengals nor the Rams are able to make of something with the remaining time left in the second quarter and will enter the second half 13-10, Rams up. Immediately the Bengals get to work at the start of the 3rd quarter and score from a deep pass by QB Joe Burrow to receiver Tee Higgins 13-17. The Rams get picked off by cornerback Awuzie after QB Matt Stafford goes for the inside pocket pass that receiver Skowronek juggles. The Bengals end up settling for a field goal after that interception by Awuzie making the score 13-20, Bengals lead. The Rams proceeded to score a field goal of their own after failing to score, 16-20, sending us to the final quarter of the match. After what seemed like would be a scoreless 4th quarter, Cooper Kupp a Rams receiver scores a touchdown after a series of flags were thrown making the score 23-20, Rams lead. WIth 1:30 left in the final quarter, the Bengals could’ve gained enough yards to put them in the position of a field goal which would send them to overtime. However, the Rams had other plans to end it short and did it on 4th and down by twirling QB Joe Burrow like a spinning top finishing the game and making the Rams your SuperBowl 56 champions.
