An inactive Bengals player is fined for bullying
It’s never good when you’re worth your team’s yards by going out on the field in streetwear to celebrate the interception.
Cornerback Vernon Hargreaves joined his teammates in the performance of “The Griddy” after the “Cincinnati Bengals” intercepted Jesse Bates III quarterback “Rams” Matthew Stafford at the end of the first half of Super Cup 56.

Two spectacular catches, 52 yards, landing.
Then there was a cry, he frowned, grabbed his left knee, terrible non-contact trauma for the pain was too much overwhelming him to secure a close catch in the second and 9 out of 3:54 to play in the second quarter.

“Yori Epstein.”

Bengals RB Joe Mixon throws a TD pass, call it a “Cincy Special”?
In the second quarter Joe Mixon made the best impression on Joe Barrow, who is a runner-back of the Bengals, throwing the first in his career pass landing6-yard wide receiver Tee Higgins.
Mixon helped bring the Bengals into the scoring position with his feet, but during the game with the second goal he made a pass from Barrow and swung wide enough to give him a perfect pass strip at Higgins.
Touchdown, with 5:47 left before the break, reduced the Bengals deficit to 13-10. That’s what Mixon did the fifth is not a quarterback who threw a pass to the Super Cup. The last time this happened was in the famous “Philly Special”, when the Philadelphia Eagles’ end date Trey Burton contacted quarterback Nick Falls to cause a victory over the “New England Patriots” four years ago.
Ja’Marr Chase makes an instant impact with an exciting catch
In the last minute of the first quarter, the Bengals nearly responded to the first landing of the Rams by one of their own.
Although they had to settle for Evan McPherson’s 29-yard field goal, the Bengals were set by quarterback Joe Barrow’s 46-yard pass to rookie Ja’Mar Chase.
Working against veteran Rams corner defender Jalen Ramsey, Chase made his way to the side to make a spectacular catch with one hand.
Who will be the star of Super Cup 56?
There are so many different potential storylines for this year’s Super Cup, from a battle of defenders to a coaching showdown between a former teacher and student. Perhaps the difference in the game will be three-time NFL defender Aaron Donald, who opposes the slandered line of the Bengals. Or could the show be stolen by Ja’Mar Chase, Cooper Coop or Odel Beckham Jr.?
NFL editors and writers USA TODAY Sports offer their ideas which will be the defining story of Super Bowl 56.
The SoFi Stadium is the focus of the Super Bowl
Sunday will be a showcase for SoFi Stadium, homeowner Stan Kronke for $ 5 billion for the Los Angeles Rams. Among its many notable features are an indoor and outdoor installation, a 120-yard Infinity Screen dashboard and a translucent canopy-style roof. But the history and impact of SoFi Stadium is complex, as some tactics that have been heavily criticized have paved the way for the Project in Inglewood, California. Read more from Josh Peter of USA TODAY Sports about how the stadium created difficulties for thousands of residents.
Concession prices at SoFi Stadium are also very high
A 25-ounce Michelob Ultra jar is usually a fairly cheap beer that can be bought at the grocery store, costs $ 3 in Vons and $ 2.79 in Instacart.
But it’s the Super Bowl at SoFi Stadium, where the same brand of beer costs $ 17 per can of the same size in Sunday’s game between the Los Angeles Rams and the Cincinnati Bengals.
Other items on concession stands Sunday’s Super Cup was a similar shock:
► $ 12 for a big hot dog
► $ 7 for 20 ounces of soda
►And $ 55 for a little Los Angeles Rams t-shirt
The SoFi Stadium had the most expensive hot dogs and beers in the NFL in 2021, according to the 2021 Team Marketing Report.

Rams WR Odel Beckham Jr. is no longer a villain
LOS ANGELES – When Odel Beckham Jr. is aiming for his first championship ring, it’s unpleasant to think he’s no better than the third best raid in Super Cup 56 – at least based on how the 2021 season unfolded.
However, such as Los Angeles ’best offensive player of the year Reims Cooper Kupp and Rookie of the Year in the offensive match at Cincinnati Bengals, Ja’Mar Chase is still far from approaching the still dynamic legacy of the OBJ, which is somehow created in just eight NFL seasons.
This week it was clear that Beckham is really calm29, who projected an amazing self-awareness as well as being fully aware of his high place in the league pantheon.
“Knowing the responsibility I have to set the standard, knowing that some of them are equal to me, is the reason why I feel the way I am now, not the 23-year-old myself,” Beckham says. . “You have to go through everything to grow through things.”
“Nate Davis.”
Joe Barrow releases his inner tiger on his way to the stadium
Quarterback Cincinnati Bengals Joe Barrow looked sharp when he boarded a bus with his team before Sunday’s Super Bowl 56 match against the Los Angeles Rams at SoFi Stadium, wearing a tiger stripe, a gray-and-black suit and a black hat.
NFL Network presenter Rich Eisen compared Barrow’s hat before playing with Walter White’s alter ego to “Into the Heavy.”
The Bengals also shared videos of Barrow’s lockers when they arrived at SoFi Stadium.
