Bengals' Zac Taylor Calls Super Bowl 56 'Really Well-Officiated' Despite Late Flags

The Los Angeles Rams' game-winning drive of Super Bowl LVI went 15 plays for 79 yards and cemented Matthew Stafford's legacy, but Cincinnati Bengals fans could be forgiven for thinking about the officials after the 23-20 loss.

Head coach Zac Taylor apparently doesn't share that opinion.

"I thought it was a really well-officiated game," he told reporters.

The biggest flag came on 3rd-and-goal from the 8-yard line when Logan Wilson was whistled for defensive holding on an incomplete pass. That call was borderline at best, and there was unnecessary roughness and defensive pass interference on the next two plays before Cooper Kupp's winning touchdown.
