The Rams defeated the Bengals 23-20 in Super Bowl 56 on Sund

The Rams defeated the Bengals 23-20 in Super Bowl 56 on Sunday thanks to who else? Cooper Kupp and Aaron Donald.LA was dealt a major blow to its offense when wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. suffered a left knee injury and was eventually ruled out in the third quarter. Coupled with the Rams struggling in the run game (they finished with 43 yards on 23 carries), that put more of the onus on Kupp.But as he had done all season, Kupp made a ma sive timely catch. He made the go-ahead touchdown grab from Matthew Stafford with 1:25 left in the fourth quarter as part of a Super Bowl MVP Trae Waynes Jersey effort. Kupp finished with eight catches for 92 yards and two scores.For as big Kupp's score was, however, Donald's play on the defensive line was just as key. Donald threw Joe Burrow to the ground on a fourth-and-1, forcing Burrow's pa s to fall incomplete.His impact was felt long before that, though.He finished with two sacks and two tackles for lo s on a night when LA sacked Burrow seven times.Burrow finished the game with 22-of-33 pa sing for 263 yards and a touchdown. Tee Higgins had four catches for 100 yards and two scores. Ja'Marr Chase finished with five catches for 89 yards.The win is the Rams' first in the Super Bowl since the 1999 season and the first under coach Sean McVay. The Bengals were in the Super Bowl for the first time since the 1988 season.Sporting News tracked live scoring updates and highlights for Super Bowl 56 between the Rams and Bengals.
