Super Bowl 56 is off and running between the Cincinnati Bengals and Los Angeles Rams!
It was a somewhat slow start to the action with both teams failing to do much on offense. The Rams were forced to punt quickly after receiving the opening kickoff and the Bengals turned possession over on downs near midfield.
On the following possession, Los Angeles finally found its footing with QB Matt Stafford making some plays. He drove the Rams inside the red zone with the team facing a 3rd-and-3 from Cincinnati’s 17-yard line.
Stafford provided a beautiful throw, connecting with Odell Beckham Jr. for the game’s opening score and an early 7-0 lead vs. the Bengals:

Joe Burrow and the Bengals have been bottled up quickly on 2 possessions to start the game. Burrow is 3-for-5 for 14 yards in the early going but is still looking for a big play late in the first quarter.
