Rams win Super Bowl Los Angeles scores winning touchdown in the final seconds
By KATHERINE ZEHNDER NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER
Andrew Whitworth, Los Angeles Rams left tackle, took home the 2021 Walter Payton Man of the Year Award. Jhene Aiko performed “America the Beautiful’’ and Mickey Guyton performed the national anthem. And, of course, the Rams defeated the Cincinnati Bengals by a score of 23-20 after a last-minute touchdown from L.A. quarterback Matthew Stafford and a big fourthdown stop by Rams defensive tackle Aaron Donald. Sean McVay brought home the championship in his fifth season as head coach for the rams. Opposing head coach Zac Taylor, in his third season for the Bengals, had previously served on McVay’s team as a wide receiver coach, and then a quarterback coach before joining the Bengals as head coach. Taylor and McVay are the two youngest head coaches in the league at 38 and 36, respectively. Although the Rams led strongly in the first half of the game, the Bengals made a characteristic comeback, kicking off the third quarter with a touchdown to launch them into the lead. In the first quarter, Stafford capped the Rams’ second drive with a 17-yard touchdown pass to Odell Beckhamd Jr., putting them in the lead. The Bengals struggled in the first quarter to gain even one yard in three plays, before settling for a field goal. The first quarter ended with the Rams ahead 7-3. The Rams scored another touchdown in the second quarter putting the rams up 13-3. In the second quarter, the Bengals’ Joe Mixon scored a touchdown, bringing the score up to 13-9. The Bengals also added a field goal, bringing them up 1310. In the second quarter, Odell tore his ACL for the second time, causing him to drop the ball, and he was helped off the field. He did not return in the contest. The Rams lead 13-10 at the end of the second quarter. “We have to be more efficient in early downs,” said McVay, just prior to halftime. Kicking off the third quarter, Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow found Tee Higgins downfield on the first play of the second half. When a Rams defender fell down, Higgins went for a 75 yard touchdown, putting the Bengals up 17-13. Stafford also sustained an injury in the third quarter, but

was not forced to leave the game. The third quarter ended with the Bengals up 20 to 16. Burrow was at his best in Sunday’s game, buying time and not always looking to run, but breaking down the defensive line. In the final quarter, with only 1:25 on the clock Stafford led the Rams in a 15-play, 79 yard drive. The Rams made it to the one-yard line after a defensive pass interference penalty was called on the Bengals Eli Apple. Stafford attempted a quarterback sneak on the last play but did not make it into the end-zone,
forcing Cincinnati to call their first time out. Kupp made a leap into the air, in the end zone, to score the winning touchdown. The Rams became SuperBowl LVI champions with a final score of 23-20. “Donald and his Rams teammates sacked Burrow on seven occasions. There were a total of nine sacks inside SoFi Stadium … Stafford finished with 283 passing yards and three touchdowns. Kupp had eight catches for 92 yards and two touchdowns,” according to Please see SUPER BOWL on A4
Police clear bridge at U.S.-Canadian border, arrest remaining protesters blocking key trade route Twenty-five percent of all U.S.-Canada trade passes over bridge connecting Windsor, Ontario to Detroit By JOHN SOLOMON JUST THE NEWS
Police in Ontario on Sunday arrested protesters still blocking the Ambassador Bridge, seeking to clear the major trade route between Canada and the United States after days of COVID-19 restriction protests that captured the world’s attention. Windsor police told the Associated Press that arrests began and vehicles were towed starting just after dawn at the bridge linking Detroit and Windsor, Ontario – the busiest northern border
crossing to the U.S. “Television images showed officers detaining protesters. Only two pickup trucks and less than a dozen protesters blocked the road to the bridge before police moved in. Afterward, police barricades remained and it was not immediately clear when the bridge might be opened,” AP reported. Scores of law enforcement had descended on the bridge Saturday after Ontario set a deadline for ending the protests, and officers negotiated for many to leave the bridge and remove their trucks before Sunday morning.

Still, some protesters remain steadfast. “We’re here for whatever it takes,” Denise Carlson told Fox News. “We’re staying right here.” Canadian police faced criticisms for not moving more quickly after the deadline expired. “At what point does the failure or
unwillingness of a police service to enforce a court ordered injunction cross over to contempt of court?” Canadian Senator Paula Simons tweeted. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, however, may have been one of the largest recipients of Canadian’s growing angst. A Maru poll released Saturday
found only 16% of Canadians would vote again for Trudeau, while 48% thought he wasn’t up to the prime minister’s job. This story was provided by The Center Square, a nonprofit dedicated to journalism.
