Cooper Kupp caught Matthew Stafford's one-yard touchdown pass with 1:25 remaining to help the Los Angeles Rams beat the Cincinnati Bengals 23-20 in the Super Bowl LVI in Inglewood, California.

The big picture: The game was played at SoFi Stadium, home to the Rams. This is the second time ever that one of the Super Bowl teams has played on its home field. The first was in Florida last year, when Tom Brady helped the Tampa Bay Buccaneers to victory.
