Cooper Kupp wins MVP as he helps Matthew Stafford rally the Los Angeles Rams to 23-20 Super Bowl victory over the Cincinnati Bengals.
For the second year running we had a Super Bowl winner lifting the Lombardi Trophy inside their home stadium as the Rams came out on top in Los Angeles.
The magnificent SoFi Stadium played host to a thriller as the Rams had to dial up a late comeback to see-off the young Cincinnati Bengals who threatened to finish off a hugely surprising season.
Joe Burrow did his best as the Bengals came flying out of the traps after half-time to stun the hosting Rams.
But quarterback Matthew Stafford and wide receiver Cooper Kupp linked up almost exclusively on what turned out to be a magnificent game-winning drive.
Aaron Donald and the Rams defence finished the job off to finally give the defensive giant the Super Bowl ring his career deserved.

Matthew Stafford ended the game with 283 yards, three touchdowns and one interception, while Burrow threw for 263 yards and one score as he had to deal with far more pressure thanks to the Rams' pass rush.
Kupp had eight catches for 92 yards and two touchdowns but his MVP award was for the way he made every big catch needed going down the stretch and proved to be the difference in that last drive.
After the Buccaneers won in Tampa Bay last year and now the Rams victorious in Los Angeles, all eyes will be on the Cardinals next season with the Super Bowl heading to Arizona in 2023.
