Super Bowl 2022 LIVE: Los Angeles Rams vs Cincinnati Bengals result as Cooper Kupp wins MVP

Creativity from the Bengals! Joe Burrow tosses the ball to Joe Mixon from under-centre, with the zone blocking motion of the offensive line selling the run fake.

But it’s a trick play! Running back Mixon sets his feet, spies an uncovered Tee Higgins along the back of the endzone and finds him!

The extra point is good. Excellent drive from the Bengals, with Mixon at the heart of it.

Los Angeles Rams 13-10 Cincinnati Bengals, 5:47, 2nd Quarter

Four yards on first down, and then Joe Mixon splits out wide as the Bengals go to the empty shot gun. Mixon is the target of a dangerously floated Burrow pass that his running back does well to haul in, leaving 3rd and 2.

Good design from Zac Taylor and his staff. Ja’Marr Chase lines up on the right of the formation and then goes in motion at the snap to the other side, Burrow finding him on the screen with two blockers in front giving the wide receiver enough space to get the first down. 1st and Goal Cincinnati!

Mixon gets four on first down. The Bengals line up for second down in 11 personnel, but with CJ Uzomah on the other side of Joe Burrow in the backfield. Burrow checks down for Mixon, who can’t beat the Rams tackler.

3rd and 6...zipped to Tee Higgins! Higgins threatens over the top and then runs a decisive comeback, and Burrow hits him with perfect timing. First down to the 19-yard line.

Another first down for the Bengals! Ja’Marr Chase works to the inside, finding a soft spot in the Rams’ zone.

And now space on the ground. The Bengals get push on the right-hand side and create an inviting cut-back lane for Joe Mixon, who takes it for a third first down of the drive.

Pressure up the middle and off the edge from the Rams, but Joe Burrow stands tall and slings a slant to Tyler Boyd, who beats David Long and moves the chains with a ten-yard gain.

The Bengals run to the right, and Joe Mixon waits for a space to appear, skipping about in the backfield and eventually lowering his shoulder for a three-yard gain.

All too easy for the Rams. Eli Apple and Jessie Bates bite on the run-fake and are thus hopelessly exposed as Kupp runs a corner route, and he makes an uncontested catch a metre from the back pylon to extend the Rams advantage.

Holder Johnny Hekker drops the long snap on the extra point, and has to hurry a futile throw away.

Los Angeles Rams 13-3 Cincinnati Bengals, 12:51, 2nd Quarter

Henderson carries for six yards on first down, but the Rams get themselves in a muddle on 2nd and 4, and are forced to burn a timeout to have a discussion.

I wonder if they spread things out again. No, under centre, 11 personnel but the receivers in tight. Van Jefferson goes in motion at the snap, play action fake to Darrell Henderson...

Another chunk play for the Rams! Here’s the creativity, the Rams faking a pitch but the leaking Darrell Henderson upfield, the running back’s wheel route clearing the covering defender and Stafford finding him in behind. 25 more yards and down towards the Bengals’ 15-yard line.

Matthew Stafford throws incomplete on second down, as Eric Weddle is shown receiving some medical attention on the sideline. The Rams safety took a blow to the shoulder making a tackle earlier.

This pass is complete, and Odell Beckham has room to run! Again from the slot, Beckham works infield, clearing the linebackers and asked to run on by Stafford’s floated pass. He does, for 35 yards!
