Madden NFL 22 Super Bowl 56 simulation Aaron Donald captures MVP as Rams knock off Bengals in Super Bowl LVI from ymakerpi8d's blog

Super Bowl LVI, will kick off in a matter of hours, and it will feature the andduking it out for the chance to hoist the Lombardi Trophy. If you're anything like me, you've e sentially been counting down the seconds leading up to the Super Bowl ever since Championship Sunday. I'll even admit that I subjected myself to watching a flag football competition -- otherwise known as the Pro Bowl -- just to get my football fix.If you can't stand to wait until kickoff, I do have the next best thing for you fine folks that'll hopefully hold you over -- our CBS Sports simulation of Super Bowl LVI!We sparked up Madden NFL 22, set up this Super Bowl matchup, and kicked back to see how the virtual action would unfold. And if you're a fan of the Rams, you'll likely be happy with what unfolded. If you San Jose Sharks Jersey root for the Bengals, just remember that it's just a video game .The Rams were able to win their second Super Bowl title in franchise history and first since the move back to Los Angeles in rather dominating fashion, taking down the Bengals, 38-20. That score also doesn't do justice to the first half shellacking that L.A. handed down en-route to a title. Our Madden Super Bowl simulation predicted the winner last year. Will it happen again??? Pick Six Podcast (@picksixpod) After a quiet couple of series to begin the game Patrick Marleau Jersey by both clubs, the Rams got the scoring going in a pretty controversial way. On a third-and-12 situation from the Cincinnati 34-yard line, uncorked a deep ball to on the left side of the end zone. Originally, the officials ruled that he was out of bounds, but a challenge by Sean McVay led to a reversal and the Rams going up, 7-0. In full transparency, it didn't look like Jefferson got two feet in bounds, but the virtual officials felt otherwise upon further review (Maybe video games have become more realistic!).The Bengals did answer that touchdown drive by the Rams with a score of their own as completed a pa s to Joel Ward Jersey to knot the game at seven, but L.A. quickly matched that score by driving down the field and . scoring a 7-yard touchdown pa s to make it 14-7.It was at this point in the game that the Bengals started to get left in the dust. The Cincinnati offense took the field following that Beckham touchdown and found itself in a third-and-9 situation from their 24-yard line. After rolling out to his right, Burrow was sacked by and the football came loose. scooped it up and was able to rush it in for the touchdown to put the Rams up 21-7. Later in the second quarter, running back would cap off another touchdown drive for L.A. that would extend their lead to three scores.To their credit, the Bengals did show some fight in the first half even amid that scoring barrage by the Rams. They were able to find the end zone with just 50 seconds left before halftime to cut the deficit to 14 after Burrow connected with .However, in a similar vein to the forcing overtime against Buffalo with , the Rams were on the verge of a similar gut-punch. On the first play following that Bengals Joe Thornton Jersey score and 46 seconds on the clock, Stafford completed a 73-yard touchdown to Jefferson to further give L.A. what proved to be an insurmountable lead. Over the second half, the Rams milked the clock with the ground game while the Bengals offense stalled out and ultimately settled for some questionable field goals attempts and eventually brought us to a 38-20 final in favor of Los Angeles, who become the second team in Super Bowl history to win the big game at their home stadium.Aaron Donald was named Super Bowl MVP after a dominating performance. The star defensive lineman finished with 13 total tackles (four tackles for a lo s) and that fumble recovery for a touchdown.Pretty much from wire-to-wire, this was a dominating game by the Rams, which they would certainly love to replicate in the actual game. Of course, that'll be easier said than done as the Bengals will likely feature star receiver, , to a much higher degree than their video-game counterparts did as he didn' Joe Pavelski Jersey t record his first catch until midway through the third quarter. In any event, if the actual Super Bowl is anything close to what our Madden simulation showed us, we'll be in for an entertaining night.
