Super Bowl LVI took place on Monday February 14, 2022 (AUS time) at the billion dollar SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California and saw the Los Angeles Rams secure NFL Champions for the 2021/22 season at their home stadium. 

The 56th Super Bowl and the 52nd in the modern-era of the NFL, the game was the eighth Super Bowl hosted by the Greater Los Angeles area and the first since Super Bowl XXVII in 1993. It was the first time Inglewood hosted the NFL decider. 

SUPERBOWL LVI PREVIEW

The “visiting” Rams are deserving favourites making their fifth Super Bowl appearance and actually get home advantage as they did in the conference championship match as they chase their second Vince Lobardi Trophy following their victory in 1999’s Super Bowl XXXIV. The LA-based Rams are the second consecutive team to play the Super Bowl in their home stadium following the Tampa Bay Buccaneers who won Super Bowl LV last season at Raymond James Stadium.

For the AFC champions, the Bengals play in the big game for the third time and are yet to be crowned Super Bowl champions. Cincinnati have enjoyed a stellar return to glory after not having won a Playoffs game since the 1990 season and finishing last in the AFC conference the two previous seasons. Incredibly they pulled off an 18-point comeback to claim the AFC title, which was tied with the 2006 Indianapolis Colts for the largest in a conference championship.

For a team that was at 125-1 to make the Super Bowl at the start of the season, the Bengals have genuine claims to score an upset here but in a close fourth-quarter the Rams’ Matthew Stafford should prove the difference!
