Good morning and Happy Valentine’s Day to everyone but Eli Apple and Zac Taylor’s playcalling because there is nothing to love about them today. One couldn’t cover Cooper Kupp in a phone booth; the other took the ball from Joe Burrow, Joe Mixon, and Ja’Marr Chase to give it to second-string running back Samaje Perine on the final third down of the Super Bowl. Bengals fans, you deserved better in your first Super Bowl appearance in over three decades.
For the Rams, Matthew Stafford was good enough to get the win but not good enough to win the MVP award as the betting favorite.
