The Rams lead the Bengals 13-10 through the first half of the Super Bowl, fueled by efficient play from Matthew Stafford and defensive breakdowns from Cincinnati.
Stafford has thrown for 165 yards and two touchdowns, dissecting a Bengals defense that has struggled to adjust to pre-snap motions and play-action passes. The secondary has left receivers open in space, including Cooper Kupp’s 11-yard touchdown reception in the second quarter. He also secured a 20-yard catch-and run play in the first quarter, and has total three receptions for 40 yards. Stafford’s only mishap was an interception in the second quarter that resulted in a touchback, but prevented the Rams from potentially scoring.
