Los Angeles Rams defeat Cincinnati Bengals 23-20 in Super Bowl LVI

A touchdown late in the final quarter gives the Los Angeles Rams a thrilling 23-20 triumph over the Cincinnati Bengals in Super Bowl LVI in Inglewood, California.

The Bengals were leading 20-16 when Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford threw a one-yard touchdown pass to Cooper Kupp in the end zone with just one minute and 25 seconds remaining in the match.

The extra point was added, giving the Rams the second Super Bowl championship in the franchise's history and their first since moving back to Los Angeles in 2016.

The Rams' last Super Bowl win was in 1999 when they were based in St Louis.

Stafford's third touchdown throw and Kupp's second scoring catch of the match capped a dramatic 15-play, 79-yard drive.

Stafford completed 26 of 40 passes for 283 yards and two interceptions, while Kupp — who was later named MVP — caught eight passes for 92 yards.

Aaron Donald recorded two of Los Angeles' seven sacks and pressured Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow to force a desperate fourth-down incompletion with 39 seconds to play.

The Rams then ran out the clock to claim the Super Bowl title.

Burrow was 22-of-33 passing for 263 yards and running back Joe Mixon rushed for 72 yards and threw a touchdown pass on a trick play for the Bengals.

Tee Higgins caught four passes for 100 yards and two touchdowns.

Cincinnati made a stunning run to the title match but is now 0-3 in Super Bowls, having lost to the San Francisco 49ers in appearances following the 1981 and 1988 seasons.

The Bengals won just six matches over the previous two seasons.

Kupp set a post-season record with 33 receptions, breaking the mark of 31 set last season by Kansas City's Travis Kelce. Von Miller also had two sacks for the Rams.

Odell Beckham Jr also caught a touchdown pass for the
