Super Bowl LVI Recap – Here’s what you missed
It’s 85 degrees in California but the heat of the rival for the Super Bowl LVI is just as hot. Even with unseasonably hot weather, fans started pouring into SoFi Stadium. Not minding the sunny weather and the heat of the day.
The Los Angeles Rams and the Cincinnati Bengals came to their final face-off for this year’s Super Bowl. While the Rams held onto the outstanding offensive attack they’ve used all throughout the season, the Bengals had a remarkable touchdown that made their edge to the third quarter.
Mathew Stafford held Cooper on spot six times while they connected one final time for a 1-yard touchdown. Scoring 15-play, taking a 23-20 lead at 79-yard trek over the Cincinnati Bengals. With 1:25 to play, the Rams hit victory in the year’s Super Bowl conquering the second Lombardi Trophy in their franchise history.

Not overlooking how the Rams went during the game, the undeniable effort from Stafford is completely recognized at play. He completed 26 of 40 passes with two picks at 283 yards. While Kupp, who caught 8 passes for 92 yards, claimed the MVP title.
When halftime struck, the game changed completely. On the first play, Burrow hit Higgins deep down the sideline for a 75-yard touchdown pass. Tee Higgins hit both scores while catching four passes for 100 yards. While his scores immediately spark discussion, the replay shows he took hold of Jalen Ramsey’s face mask. Although no penalty was called for that move.

Aside from that intense turn of events during halftime, there’s also the epic performance of huge artists in the Super Bowl LVI. The natives of California, Snoop Dogg, Dr. Dre, Kendrick Lamar, Eminem, and Mary J. Blige gave out heated performances. Matching the already-heated game field.
Mary J.Blige took center stage with her iconic single “Family Affair.” While dancing in her thigh high glitter boots. She also sang “No More Drama.” In addition, Kendrick Lamar’s entrance is as mad as to how he entered with the prologue of his song “M.A.A.D. City.”

The crowd went wild with the unannounced arrival of Eminem. All-white walls shattered as the speakers bang on the tune of his award-winning hit “Lose Yourself” with Anderson Paak on drums. Snoop Dogg ended the half-time music event with an incredible performance with Dr. Dre.
Although they’re not only the half-time stars that performed on the musical act on Sunday night. Jhene Aiko opened the game with her rendition of “America the Beautiful”. She is followed by country singer Mickey Guyton as he sang the soulful version of “The Star-Spangled Banner.”

Meanwhile, the Rams’ winning streak at the end is all brought by their defensive tactics. Donald sacking Burrow and downing the Bengals QB twice is what sealed their victory. Ramsey wasn’t at his best while covering Cincinnati’s Ja’Marr Chase, the L.A. line still won the Super Bowl title.
The Bengals lost as Burrow’s efforts never hit it off. Even if he has all the experience set for the big game, his protection didn’t have enough timing and space to show off his big-play stuff. He missed some early open shots that could’ve led to earning points.
