Touchdowns, including the game-winning pass in the final minutes to star wide receiver cooper kupp. but it was the rams defense that ended it all. aaron donald brought down bengals quarterback joe burrow in the last minute. los angeles fans were elated. >> it was awesome, dude. i love the rams. im so happy that they won. >> oh, my god, we needed this. you know, the pandemic brought us down so bad. people wasnt even coming together. now were together. were happy and we can go on and still fight. ...
