1. I might be the only person who felt this way, but for a close, competitive game that went down to the wire, the Rams' 23–20 win over the Bengals in Super Bowl LVI felt like a pretty nondescript and, at many times, boring football game.
The game didn’t have many big plays. We were treated to a lot of one-yard runs and the refs—as usual—had to come in late and ruin things, and the game ended with a whimper and not a bang.
That’s how NBC’s broadcast felt, too. There wasn’t anything that stood out about the performances of Al Michaels and Cris Collinsworth, in what may have been their last game together.
