No look pass:
With their backs against the wall late in the fourth quarter, the Los Angeles Rams turned to the connection that spearheaded their offensive attack all year.
Matthew Stafford targeted Cooper Kupp six times on the eventual game-winning drive with the duo linking up one final time for a 1-yard touchdown go cap a 15-play, 79-yard trek and take a 23-20 lead over the Cincinnati Bengals with 1:25 to play.
Ultimately, that margin held as the Rams claimed victory in Super Bowl LVI and captured the second Lombardi Trophy in franchise history.
Tribute Video:
For Detroit Lions fans, a pair of players has defined their recent fandom of the team in Matthew Stafford and Calvin Johnson. One of those players went on to Super Bowl immortality and the other to the Hall of Fame, proving the greatness of both.
Like all Lions fans, Johnson watched the Super Bowl and saw what Stafford was able to accomplish. He was just as happy as a lot of the fanbase as well, and even took time out to give his former teammate a major shoutout following his big triumph on the field.
Triplets:
Does Kelly Stafford have triplets? Nope, the Staffords don’t have triplets. They have twin daughters as well as two other little girls born separately—and that alone can be quite a handful for the couple, especially Kelly.
Johnson shared his congratulations with Stafford on Monday, February 14 with a post on Twitter. Though the pair played for rival schools in college, it’s clear there was absolutely no shame in Johnson, a Georgia Tech grad, sharing the love with Stafford, a Georgia Bulldog.
It’s been hectic, no doubt, but life started to return to normal. Before the coronavirus pandemic and COVID-19 outbreak, the Staffords enjoyed a nice family vacation at Disneyland in California. They took their three daughters — twins Sawyer and Chandler, and Hunter — and it was all smiles.
