The matchup for Super Bowl 56 was set Sunday, with the Cincinnati Bengals and Los Angeles Rams surviving another pair of nail-biters to win a shot at NFL history.
The Bengals, who have never won a Super Bowl and last made it to the NFL championship game in 1988, edged out the heavily favored Kansas City Chiefs, 27-24 in overtime. Hours later, the Rams outlasted the San Francisco 49ers — who have beaten the Bengals twice in the Super Bowl, to punch their ticket for the Feb. 13 game.
