The Rams won Super Bowl LVI 23-20 over the Bengals, and Aaron Donald was widely credited as the true game-changer — posting two sacks, three QB hits, two tackles for loss, and most critically, the game-sealing pressure on Joe Burrow on fourth-and-1 with under a minute remaining. However, the official Super Bowl MVP was awarded to Cooper Kupp, who caught 8 passes for 92 yards and two touchdowns including the go-ahead score. Donald was arguably the most impactful defensive player and many writers called him the 'real MVP,' but Kupp's offensive heroics were what the voters rewarded.
