The LA Rams defeated the Bengals 23-20 in Superbowl 56! After I was able to shake over the week hangover, the Parade, and the rest of the celebrations, I chatted with NFL Senior Analyst Steven VanOver about everything that went down on Superbowl Sunday from Sofi Stadium! Cooper Kupp was the MVP, but should it have been Aaron Donald? Did the Bengals lose the game? What did Van think of the refereeing?
