When you think of a classic Super Bowl matchup, you think of two teams that have dominated their competition and run rampant through the playoffs. Rams vs. Bengals is not that matchup.
Both teams trailed in their respective conference championship games as the fourth quarter started. The Bengals needed a dramatic comeback and a spectacular self-destruction from the Chiefs to advance. The Rams blew a 24-point lead in the divisional round against the Bucs and needed Jaquiski Tartt to drop a gift-wrapped interception to spur their win over the 49ers.
