Congratulations to the Los Angeles Rams for besting the Cincinnati Bengals, 23-20, during an intense game in Super Bowl LVI! This comes less than two years after the Los Angeles Lakers and Dodgers won an NBA championship and World Series title, respectively.
Despite a knee injury to their star wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr.—who had to sit out the rest of the game after sustaining a torn ACL in the second quarter—the Rams were able to regroup and play tough defense till the very end of the second half...preventing the Bengals from either making a game-winning touchdown or at least bringing the game to overtime.
This is the second consecutive year where the home team won the NFL championship on their home field (Tom Brady and the Buccaneers won a title at Tampa Bay's Raymond James Stadium in 2021), and the first time the Super Bowl was played at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California.
Kobe Bryant and Shaquille O'Neal were able to win their first NBA championship at STAPLES Center in the first year the Los Angeles arena opened (back in 1999), while the Rams accomplished this feat in the second year that SoFi took its place as the largest NFL stadium in the country. Well done!
It remains to be seen if there will be a victory parade this week...and if there is, I'll definitely be there! Donning an N95 mask, of course.
One last thing: Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg reminded us why they're still the GOATs of hip-hop during tonight's Pepsi Super Bowl Halftime Show. That is all!
