The Los Angeles Rams will always have their Super Bowl LVI victory, but bragging rights went to the Cincinnati Bengals this time around.
Cincinnati defeated Los Angeles 19-16 in Monday's inter-conference showdown at Paycor Stadium. It was a defensive slugfest that didn't see a single touchdown until the second half, but the home team did enough to get its first win of the season.
The Rams fell to 1-2, and Matthew Stafford will likely want to forget his latest showing.
He went 18-of-33 for 269 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions and was sacked six times behind an offensive line that struggled for stretches.
