INGLEWOOD, Calif. — The Los Angeles Rams used a late comeback to down the Cincinnati Bengals, 23-20, in the Super Bowl on Sunday, capturing an N.F.L. championship by scoring a touchdown with less than two minutes remaining in the fourth quarter and then stopping quarterback Joe Burrow from his own last-ditch comeback in the game’s final moments.
Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford finished off the decisive 15-play, 72-yard drive with a 1-yard touchdown pass to Cooper Kupp, who leapt into the air with a defender nearby to grab his second touchdown of the game.
Then, Burrow, the Bengals’ young star who had won a collegiate national championship with Louisiana State, was stopped on his final play and forced to throw an incomplete pass as he faced pressure from Aaron Donald, the Rams’ pass rusher who is one of the best players in the league.
