During the initial part of the game, the Rams were a bit stiff and were contained by the opposition. However, they did not take much time to bounce back and wreaked havoc on The Bengals.

In the ending moments of the game, it was Rams’ Wide Receiver Cooper Kupp who made the winning touchdown for his team. The aforementioned touchdown was so late that the defending champion did not get enough time to make a comeback. The final nail in the coffin was Aaron Donald’s takedown, which made sure that the Rams are the new champions.
