Cincinnati Bengals 31, San Francisco 49ers 17
The Cincinnati Bengals defeated the San Francisco 49ers 31-17 in a classic Super Bowl LVII on Sunday, giving the Bengals their first Super Bowl title in franchise history.
Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow was named the Super Bowl MVP after throwing for 327 yards and three touchdowns. Burrow also led the Bengals on a game-winning touchdown drive in the fourth quarter, capped off by a 10-yard touchdown pass to Ja'Marr Chase.
The Bengals got off to a fast start in the game, scoring touchdowns on their first two possessions. Burrow found Chase for a 72-yard touchdown pass on the opening drive, and then Burrow ran for a touchdown himself on the Bengals' next drive.
The 49ers answered back with a touchdown of their own, but the Bengals took a 14-7 lead into halftime after Burrow threw a touchdown pass to Tyler Boyd.
The 49ers tied the game at 14-14 in the third quarter, but the Bengals responded with a 17-point outburst in the fourth quarter to seal the victory. Burrow threw a touchdown pass to Chase to put the Bengals ahead 21-14, and then Evan McPherson kicked a field goal to extend the lead to 24-14.
The 49ers scored a touchdown to cut the lead to 24-21, but the Bengals answered with a touchdown drive of their own to put the game out of reach. Burrow threw a 10-yard touchdown pass to Chase to put the Bengals ahead 31-21, and then the Bengals' defense held off the 49ers on their final drive of the game.
The Bengals' victory was a fitting culmination to a remarkable season for the team. The Bengals finished the regular season with a 13-4 record, and they won all four of their playoff games in convincing fashion.
The Bengals' win was also a testament to the leadership of Burrow. Burrow, in just his third season in the NFL, has already led the Bengals to two Super Bowls and one Super Bowl victory. Burrow is one of the most exciting young players in the NFL, and he is sure to be a contender for MVP awards for many years to come.
