Cooper Kupp Named Super Bowl LVI MVP
Rams wide receiver Cooper Kupp was named the MVP of Super Bowl LVI after a stellar performance against the Bengals on Sunday.

The Rams won the game 23–20 after a go-ahead touchdown from Matthew Stafford to Kupp with just a minute and 25 seconds remaining in regulation. The Rams' defense went on to stop the Bengals' offense and never let their star kicker Evan McPherson get a chance at an overtime-forcing field goal.
