Super Bowl LVI will feature the Cincinnati Bengals and the Los Angeles Rams with two quarterbacks playing at the top of their game and both ready to win their first ring.

Joe Burrow and Matthew Stafford both had solid performances in the conference championship games and led their teams to comeback victories.

The Bengals were down 21-3 in the first half before Burrow found Samaje Perine for a 41-yard catch and run that got them to within 11 points before halftime. A big defensive stop closed the door on the Kansas City Chiefs doing any more damage before the first half ended. 

Burrow would have another touchdown pass to help tie the game with the Chiefs and the Bengals would win the game in overtime 27-24. He finished 23-for-38 with 250 passing yards, two touchdown passes and an interception.

The Rams were down 17-7 going into the fourth quarter against the San Francisco 49ers, and it was up to Stafford and the Rams' defense to muster up a comeback. Stafford did just that.

He started the fourth quarter with a touchdown pass to Cooper Kupp – the second time the two players hooked up during the game. Los Angeles’ defense would stifle the 49ers throughout the rest of the game, leading to game-tying and game-winning field goals from Matt Gay. The Rams won 20-17.
