Stars matter in the NFL, and the Rams proved that by beating the Bengals to win Super Bowl LVI on Sunday night. Their best players stepped up in a big way, from Matthew Stafford to Aaron Donald.
The Bengals didn’t make it easy on the Rams and it took another fourth-quarter comeback in order to pull out the victory, but pivotal plays were made by Stafford, Cooper Kupp, Donald and Von Miller down the stretch.
Here’s our final list of studs and duds for the 2021-22 season, wrapping things up with Super Bowl LVI.

Kupp just capped off arguably the greatest season ever by a wide receiver by claiming the title of Super Bowl MVP. He caught eight passes for 92 yards and two touchdowns, including the game-winner with 1:25 left in the fourth quarter. He caught four passes for 39 yards and rushed for 7 yards on the Rams’ game-winning drive, picking up a key fourth down to keep the drive alive. When the Rams needed him to step up, he came through like he always does.
