🏈 The result: The Rams defeated the Bengals by a score of 23-20 thanks to a strong defensive performance and three TDs from QB Matthew Stafford (☝️ left); with the win, 36-year-old Sean McVay becomes the youngest Super Bowl-winning head coach in history.
📺 The commercials: This year’s crop of ads featured a wide range of celebrities – from Zendaya to Larry David to Scarlett Johansson to Peyton Manning – a handful of crypto promos, and a few scenes that felt straight out of theaters (looking at you, Austin Powers).
🎤 Everything else: The halftime show with Eminem, Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, Mary J. Blige, Kendrick Lamar, and a surprise appearance from 50 Cent was a millennial's nostalgic dream come true (video); Rams WR Cooper Kupp (☝️ right) was named Super Bowl MVP after racking up 92 receiving yards, 7 rushing yards, and 2 TDs.
+Post-game recovery: In 2020, an estimated 17+ million people missed work the Monday after the big game.
