Super Bowl LVI

& Ina fluke of scheduling, tonight’s Super Bowl LVI between the Cincinnati Bengals and Los Angeles Rams designates the Rams as the visiting team, despite that the game is on the Rams’ home field of SoFi Stadium.

Both teams got here via thrilling victories, Joe Burrow and the Bengals via their 27-24 overtime win over the Kansas City Chiefs in the AFC Championship game, and Matthew Stafford and the Rams with their hard-fought 2017 triumph over the San Francisco 49ers in the NFC title contest. So this game, called by NBC’s Al Michaels and Cris Collinsworth, has a lot to live up to.
