  1. Yet more yellow!published at 02:52 Greenwich Mean Time 14 February 2022

    Los Angeles Rams 16-20 Cincinnati Bengals

    Flags everywhere now, more holding this time against Eli Apple on Cooper Kupp, and the Rams get the ball on the one-yard line and it looks only a matter of time until they punch it in for the touchdown.

  2. More flagspublished at 02:50 Greenwich Mean Time 14 February 2022

    Los Angeles Rams 16-20 Cincinnati Bengals

    Stafford throws a touchdown to Cooper Kupp but it's coming back for a flag on both teams. We're replaying first down.

  3. Huge flag!published at 02:49 Greenwich Mean Time 14 February 2022

    Los Angeles Rams 16-20 Cincinnati Bengals

    That's a massive call by the referees for holding, it looked soft and considering that not too many flags have been thrown so far it looks tough.

  4. Throw awaypublished at 02:47 Greenwich Mean Time 14 February 2022

    Los Angeles Rams 16-20 Cincinnati Bengals

    Second down is no good with Stafford having to throw it away.

  5. Too highpublished at 02:46 Greenwich Mean Time 14 February 2022

    Los Angeles Rams 16-20 Cincinnati Bengals

    First down goes begging with Stafford's throw too high for Jefferson who is racing towards the back of the end zone.

  6. Two-minute warningpublished at 02:44 Greenwich Mean Time 14 February 2022

    Los Angeles Rams 16-20 Cincinnati Bengals

    The Rams are closing in here as Cam Akers gets a first down inside the Cincinnati 10-yard line.

    They've now got four downs to score a touchdown with the clock winding down - this could well be the ball game right here.

  7. Kupp - who else?published at 02:43 Greenwich Mean Time 14 February 2022

    Los Angeles Rams 16-20 Cincinnati Bengals

    Stafford is swinging for the fences now and everything is directed to Kupp, including laser for 22 yards that takes them to the 24-yard line.

  8. Kupp convertspublished at 02:40 Greenwich Mean Time 14 February 2022

    Los Angeles Rams 16-20 Cincinnati Bengals

    The Rams need a yard on fourth down, so only one man to call for and that's Cooper Kupp.

    They line him up in the backfield and hand it off so he can use his speed across the ground to comfortably move the sticks. Huge fourth down conversion to keep the drive going.

  9. 'Stafford needs to step up'published at 02:35 Greenwich Mean Time 14 February 2022

    Matt Stafford needs to step up and make a play. Make everybody in the NFL understand that the Rams made the right deal with the trade.

  10. Big drop!published at 02:35 Greenwich Mean Time 14 February 2022

    Los Angeles Rams 16-20 Cincinnati Bengals

    What a time for Tyler Boyd to drop his first pass of the season! He's free in space to convert a third down, but he makes the classic mistake of having one eye on the defenders lining up to smash him and that results in the ball hitting the ground.

    Huge blow for Cincinnati.

  11. First downpublished at 02:32 Greenwich Mean Time 14 February 2022

    Los Angeles Rams 16-20 Cincinnati Bengals

    Joe Burrow's not exactly moving smoothly, but the Bengals get a first down with a short pass following a couple of strong runs by Joe Mixon.

    Neither team has been able to move the ball on the ground today, and a run game would really come in handy right now for both QBs, but especially Burrow as it'd take some heat off that pass rush.

  12. Rams missing Beckhampublished at 02:26 Greenwich Mean Time 14 February 2022

    Los Angeles Rams 16-20 Cincinnati Bengals

    It's another punt after another missed catch by the Rams, who certainly seem to be missing Odell Beckham after his brilliant first half was ended by injury.

    Let's see how Joe Burrow is moving as he returns to the field.

  13. ouch!

    This was always a danger with Burrow now being sacked for a seventh time, as he had his knee twisted up underneath him when a bunch of Rams defenders swarmed him.

    He's in obvious pain as he limps off and this is a huge worry for the Bengals now,

  14. Rams kick it awaypublished at 02:17 Greenwich Mean Time 14 February 2022

    Los Angeles Rams 16-20 Cincinnati Bengals

    It's another Rams punt after a pass comes off the hand of Van Jefferson but he couldn't haul it in.

    It's really tough going for the offensive players now and after a good kick away the Bengals are backed up on their own 15.

  15. 'The Bengals pass rush family'published at 02:14 Greenwich Mean Time 14 February 2022

    The Bengals are rushing as a pass rush family, Hubbard forces Stafford to step up in the pocket and then DJ Reader gets a push up the middle and gets the sack.

  16. End of the thirdpublished at 02:12 Greenwich Mean Time 14 February 2022

    Los Angeles Rams 16-20 Cincinnati Bengals

    Oh this is just great stuff isn't it! It's so tense now with defences well on top and both QBs under constant pressure, but knowing that they've still got the weapons to bust out a big play at any moment.

    Just four points in the game as we enter the final 15 minutes of Super Bowl 56...unless there's overtime!

  17. Sack lunches all round!published at 02:09 Greenwich Mean Time 14 February 2022

    Los Angeles Rams 16-20 Cincinnati Bengals

    The pass rushers are starting to get on top now as yet again this porous Bengals front is breached twice on back-to-back plays with Joe Burrow dropped twice.

    That's SIX sacks on Burrow so far in this game.

  18. Stafford limps off after sackpublished at 02:06 Greenwich Mean Time 14 February 2022

    Los Angeles Rams 16-20 Cincinnati Bengals

    Matthew Stafford goes down again and this time he's limping off the field as he got his ankle turned over as he went down.

    He looks uncomfortable, and that will spread along the Rams bench as their star QB gets medical attention on his injury.

  19. Thumbs down from Philly Specialpublished at 02:04 Greenwich Mean Time 14 February 2022

    Los Angeles Rams 16-20 Cincinnati Bengals

    Tight end Trey Burton was the Eagle who threw the Philly Special during the Super Bowl. He's not impressed with the Rams' version.

    The Bengals' defensive line is overwhelming the Rams' offensive line, they are getting punched in the mouth.
