All good things must come to an end. The Cincinnati Bengals’ fairytale season came via a heartbreaking loss to the Rams in Super Bowl LVI by a score of 23-20.
The Bengals trailed at halftime, but scored a touchdown on the first play of the second half, and then after a Matt Stafford interception, Evan McPherson was set up for what would be his 14th and final field goal of the playoffs. Those 10 points would be the last the Bengals would score in the game. Stafford and the Rams scored the go-ahead touchdown with less than two minutes left in regulation and would go on to win after stopping Joe Burrow and the Bengals offense on a fourth-and-short play at the Rams 49-yard line.
