... Playing in their home stadium, the Los Angeles Rams beat the Cincinnati Bengals 23-20 in the Super Bowl.
Interesting that the last two Superbowls ended with a difference of only a field goal. Beats the heck out of watching a blowout. That's my opinion, anyway.
I agree.
Purely from a football perspective, yesterday's game was superb. Both teams were highly disciplined, there was very little "chippiness," few injuries, not a lot of mistakes or mental lapses (other than the Hurts fumble) and the game really came down to coaching, play design, and execution. There were only two controversial calls from officials that I recall, and for one of them the Philly player who got tagged admitted after the game it was a legitimate call.
That was clean football, all things considered.
