A late touchdown gave Rams their first Super Bowl title since the 1999 season — and their first representing Los Angeles since 1951.

INGLEWOOD, CALIF. — In a venue built for champions, the Los Angeles Rams carried off the crown jewel: a Super Bowl trophy.

Rams wide receiver Cooper Kupp catches a touchdown against Bengals cornerback Eli Apple during the second half of the Super Bowl on Sunday, Feb. 13, 2022, in Inglewood, Calif. Fittingly, Burrow was under pressure on fourth-and-1 and threw incomplete, setting off a football fiesta this city has not seen since the LA Raiders won the 1983 championship.

The 10 quick points at the outset of the third quarter put the Bengals ahead for the first time. Tee Higgins’ 75-yard score made it 17-13 and was followed one play later by Chidobe Awuzie’s pick. Evan McPherson tied Adam Vinatieri’s postseason record with his 14th field goal, a 38-yarder. Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford, left, talks with Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow after the Super Bowl on Sunday, Feb. 13, 2022, in Inglewood, Calif.

Beckham, who joined the Rams in Week 10 after being exiled from Cleveland, easily beat Mike Hilton on a corner pattern for the 17-yard score on third down. Then Beckham showed off his moonwalk in the end zone.

Congrats to the Rams,they were lucky to win with the team they paid highly to dress, a great system that a mediocre QB (how many losses with Lions) was able to guide across the finish line. Congrats to the Bengals, young QB to be there and build on, they will be back. Go Bears.

A late GIFT from the refs gave the Rams the SB....there, I fixed it for you.
