Rams, Bengals Conference Championship Comebacks Set up Super Bowl LVI Date

Sunday's Conference Championship Games—each decided by a field goal—set up a most-surprising Super Bowl matchup between the Bengals and Rams. Cincinnati and Los Angeles were the No. 4 seeds in AFC and NFC, respectively, setting up the first Super Bowl in history with both teams seeded fourth or lower.

The Bengals bested the defending AFC Champion Chiefs, top-seeded Titans and Raiders en route to their first Super Bowl appearance since 1989. And the Rams shrugged off a six-game losing streak to their division rival 49ers, beat Tom Brady and the Buccaneers in what was potentially his final game of his career and defeated the Cardinals to head to their second Super Bowl in four years.
