The giant does it: Rams and Donald win the Super Bowl

The slightly favored team, with which South Tyrolean Maximilian Pircher is under contract, won 70:048 on Sunday (local time) in front of 23 spectators in the SoFi Stadium. In the 20 previous Super Bowls, only the Tampa Bay Buccaneers were able to win the title in their own stadium last season.

In a close game, the Rams were ahead 13-3 in the early stages of the second quarter, but the Bengals initially turned the game around, led by quarterback Joe Burrow. Outsiders Cincinnati entered the final period with a 20:16 lead. But with 1:25 minutes left, quarterback Matthew Stafford gave the Rams the lead with a pass to Cooper Kupp, who won the MVP title for the most valuable player. Playmaker Stafford threw a total of three touchdowns, the Bengals could no longer counter. “I wanted this so much, I dreamed of it,” enthused Rams defender Aaron Donald, who decided the game with a so-called quarterback sack. Rams make history For the Rams, it is the second Super Bowl in the team's history. When they first won 22 years ago, the team was still at home in St. Louis. It is the first victory in a Super Bowl since returning to Los Angeles. Three years ago, the Rams lost their last final against the New England Patriots. 36-year-old Sean McVay is now the youngest coach in NFL history to win a Super Bowl. Before the Super Bowl, the Rams had already won two championships, in 1945 and 1951.

In recent years, the Rams have increasingly relied on the Super Bowl in their own city and have significantly strengthened their squad. The team gave up more and more access rights at the annual talent fairs for newcomers like quarterback Stafford and the defenders Von Miller and Jalen Ramsey. This strategy by team owner Stan Kroenke has now paid off with the longed-for success in the SoFi Stadium, which is estimated to cost five billion dollars, in front of their own fans. Bengals fans can be confident The Bengals, on the other hand, still have to wait for their first victory in a Super Bowl and also lost on their third attempt. The team around quarterback Burrow had completely surprisingly qualified for the final. Just two years ago, the team from Ohio State was as bad as any other in the National Football League. Now the team has a bright future ahead of them despite the loss to the Rams.

At halftime, a combination of musical superstars ensured an acclaimed show. Rap, hip-hop and R&B greats Eminem, Snoop Dogg, Dr. Dre, Mary J. Blige and Kendrick Lamar performed a medley of their greatest hits.
