Holding penalty on Logan Wilson against Cooper Kupp. Wilson’s right hand is grabbing Kupp’s jersey, which is clear, and he appears to use it to leverage himself into position to make the pass breakup. pic.twitter.com/L8MeVUv2j1

Did anyone else have the feeling that this was not Akers’ day, and the Rams needed to play Henderson and Michel instead? I was yelling at the screen to take him out. Have the feeling that his long battle with his injury, and his miraculous comeback, caught up to him. He just didn’t seem to have any juice left. Gutsy, gutsy guy. But he looked off. Of course, the Bengals were shutting down the run in general, like the Niners, but I think Henderson and Michel gave the Rams a better chance.

I think Akers made a play or 2. Henderson came through as a receiver, if memory serves. I just think the Rams had to run the ball regardless of the results because the alternative was to just let the Bengals defense tee off against the pass. I also think OBJ being out limited them. It wasn’t the Rams vaunted offense without OBJ and with the run game being stymied. The last drive was brilliant though–they found a way to make it all Kupp.

I’ve seen some argue this wasn’t a penalty and shouldn’t have offset the Havenstein hold. This is clearly a helmet to helmet hit to a player classified as a defenceless receiver. It’s definitely a penalty, and also potentially dangerous. pic.twitter.com/ogU9IHFjil

Charean Williams@NFLCharean·
The Rams’ seven sacks ties the Super Bowl record. Von Miller, who has two, was on the Broncos team that had seven of Cam Newton and the Panthers.

JP Acosta@acosta32_jp
Aaron Donald pulling Semaje Perine back to set up 4th and 1 might have been the play of the game

Thomas Shelby@ramsfan1987
One thing that gets forgotten about is that Von had a monumental impact on this defense.

Not only as an experienced leader, but once he saw Burrow having a pocket to step into with everyone overrunning it, he starting spinning back inside. You can’t teach that stuff.

RAMZILLA@elitster
Rams -2 in turnovers. Lose OBJ. Blanton 3rd TE lost. Weddle with pec rupture. Still find a way to win. It’s incredible.

SeattleRams@seattlerams_nfl
You know who else deserves a ton of credit? Brycen Hopkins, and the Rams coaching staff for making sure so many players are prepared to step in once injury happens.

After Blanton went down, Hopkins caught 4 for 47.

Rams Wire@TheRamsWire
The Rams’ win probability was only 21% midway through the 4th quarter and only 36% before their game-winning drive

Booger@ESPNBooger
7 sacks 18 pressures

Cameron DaSilva@camdasilva
Cooper Kupp this postseason (4 games)

42 targets
33 catches
478 yards
6 TDs
1 Super Bowl MVP

Tom@TL_LARams
Matthew Stafford tied the record for most 4th quarter comebacks in a single playoffs with 3. He would have set the record with 4, but the Arizona Cardinals couldn’t make the wildcard round game competitive

When the @RamsNFL needed him most, @AaronDonald97 came up big. @BallySports https://t.co/BJ7CLkrFe8

*Super Bowl champ
*8× Pro Bowl
*7× First-team All-Pro
*3× Defensive Player of the Year
*2010s All-Decade Team

Rams are Super Bowl LVI champions …

• Sean McVay becomes the youngest HC ever to win one.

• Matthew Stafford’s first 4 playoff wins culminate in a title.

• Three-time DPOY Aaron Donald gets his ring.

• Cooper Kupp—with OBJ down—is Super Bowl MVP.

People will tell you that Burrow thrives in pressure, about how he took 9 sacks and still won. Well he took 5+ sacks in 5 regular season games this year and they were 1-4 in those games. And they scored an avg of 19ppg in those games. -8 pts compared to their season avg.

Not knocking Burrow, he’s been really impressive and deserves credit. But this mythic narrative of the Bengals unlockable defense and Burrow overcoming all odds is manufactured.
