The Los Angeles Rams have claimed a second Super Bowl success in a late comeback over the Cincinnati Bengals – but how much prize money will they get for winning it?
Heading into the fourth quarter, the Bengals were leading 20-16 – although Matthew Stafford and Cooper Kupp weren’t about to wave the white flag.
With 6:13 left on the clock, Stafford took possession and set about a drive to claim the Vince Lombardi.
Kupp produced a second TD – to go with Odell Beckham Jr’s early score – to give the Rams the lead.
However, there was still time for the Bengals and Joe Burrow to do something about it.
Aaron Donald shit Burrow down with 1:25 on the clock, with the Bengals unable to do anything about it.
