Pat McAfee's Thoughts On Super Bowl 56, Rams Beating Bengals 

Stafford been doing no look passes for a minute, but Mahomes does it and everyone goes crazy

This SB meant so much for Stafford, OBJ, and Aaron Donalds legacy. I’m so glad they won it all

Watching Stafford finally win a ring just brings me so much joy. He’s suffered with us for years and now he’s a champion

I am a Lions fan. Stafford deserves a ring. Those Bengals though. This game was great, simply great. So glad this happened. Best of luck to Joey Brrrrrr.

There were a lot of missed calls on both sides. Even though i was bummed my Bengal's couldn't pull off the upset Sunday. You got to tip your cap to the Rams. They were the better team. Congrats to the Rams organization and there fans. Who knows if my Bengals invest in a couple offensive linemen and 1 corner we could make it back to the big show in the near future.

After his taunting penalty, why didn't Vernon Hargreaves get a second flag for wearing socks with sandals?

Happy for Stafford. Dude absolutely deserved the super bowl win after being shafted by Detroit for 12 years

Even with the calls, this game was a classic. Up until the very end, both teams had a legit chance to win. Props to both teams for playing their utmost best.

This Superbowl was a great way to cap off what was the best playoffs in decades. Can't wait for next season!

As a Bengals fan, I enjoyed this game and season. The Rams played great and so did the Bengals but we’ve had an offensive line problem for a while. Can’t wait to hopefully improve that next year and be a great team. I know Burrow wanted to win so he’s gonna have a chip on his shoulder next year. But congrats to the Rams and Matty Stafford

Nothing but love and respect from both fan bases. That’s what I love. Lifelong cincinnatian here, can’t even be mad

Burrow was sacked 7 times in 22 second half drop backs. That’s just brutal

Happy for Stafford he spends 12 years in that Gulag in Detroit. Happy for Eric Weddle to, off two years stayed in shape and played well. Lots of NFL players that take a year or two off , never get it back.

I've been a Broncos fan all my life (I'm 38) and Von Miller was one of my favorites. Glad to see he got a second ring.

Rams signed Weddle out of retirement for this Super Bowl. Wish they could have brought Megatron in for a well-deserved ring.

The gunslinger from up north led his 44th comeback and 3rd this post season. Put them nuggets on your chin. ❤️ 🦁 #9

Aaron Rodgers DEFINITELY getting tf outta Green Bay now 😂😂

Easily one of the most enjoyable games to watch this year due to the refs not interrupting the game every 3 plays. Some of the plays obviously could have been flagged but the little things being allowed to go was so nice.

The thing about flags is, all game long, in every game, there’s bad calls and bad non-calls. So it evens out, most of the time. Obviously there’s ones that are ridiculously lopsided, but most of the time it’s really pretty even.

I had a great time at the super bowl especially being able to sit close to Stafford's wife and seeing her reaction live was wholesome and precious.

So damn happy Matt Stafford finally got what he deserves, a SUPERBOWL RING.🤩🤩🤩

Matthew Stafford has been a top 5 QB since he entered the league in '09. Doing what Rodgers, Mahomes, and Brees have done but not getting the recognition because he was in Detroit making 1-15 teams turn in 7-9 seasons. Glad he finally got his Super Bowl win.

aaron donald made a huge 4th and 1 stop to end the game, because the bengals were rolling down the field to potentially tie or win the game

Brady goes to Tampa and wins the SB. Stafford goes to LA and wins the SB. I think it's time for Rodgers to start talking to the Cardinals...

My dad 6 years ago " if Stafford plays for a good team he would win a superbowl"

In the end, not having an indoor practice facility cost the Bengals big time, not the refs

Love Pats take on the penalties. Very frustrating to watch games where the penalties are so inconsistent.

As a life long bengals fan, I’m more frustrated that the Oline almost cause another career altering injury on burrow then the bengals losing the Super Bowl in general. In my opinion, the entire Oline needs to go. They need a whole new Oline.

No one talks about the PI that was missed against Ramsey in the first half. They go straight to the face mask…

Pat losing $40k on the coin toss 🤣

Pat on point with all the point's! ..... And that's coming from a guy who grew up with the Bengal's owners and got to sit in the owners box many times from day 1 but became a Titans fan & season ticket PSL holder after moving to Nashville in the 80's. Congrats Rams.

Good game Rams, played my Bengals hard and i wanna say it was a good season to the 30 other teams that didn't make it there.

AD isn't retiring. He's at 98 career sacks no way he passes up the 100 sack club. And I think he's got a real shot at 200 sacks if he keeps going. Why hang it up when you're still in your prime. I can't see it

I can be the only one to notice how similar the narratives are between the last two Super Bowls.

The mad lad stafford did it

As a Rams fan, I tip my hat to the Bengals. They are one good OL away from being SB champs. Bengals are gonna be back in the playoffs for sure

Pat was big on the Matt Stafford trade early on and he clearly knew what he was talking about.

Here for the "Refs" comments... 😂

Stafford not only showed up clutch in this game but he has actually come from behind in three consecutive games in the post season. The chemistry between him and Cupp is unreal

Run it back Rams. Great playoffs. There's always room for more rings. Ram it!

Shoutout to Eli Apple

Glad key players on the Rams finally got a ring!!! And also that Quinton Spain gave up the game winning sack to Aaron Donald! Karma is a B! Talking all that trash for last couple weeks couldn’t have played out better! And Bengals are a threat now!

So freaking happy for Stafford!!!

Hahaha the hundreds and hundreds part was epic

This SB was tremendous. I'm so happy for Stafford, OBJ, Kupp, Donald, Von & the rest of the Rams. The Bengals kept it close but in the end they couldn't topple *every* giant they played against in their run as they lost in the end. If that team can keep players, build a tremendous O Line for Joe Burrow and keep Jalen Ramsey and the other young talent I really think that the Bengals will finally be a dominant force in the AFC North. Detroit *LOST* that trade with Goff and the Detroit Lions as much as I love them are bloody cursed. I still have a copy of Madden 13 where Megatron is on the cover and now that Stafford's cursed Lions team in the definite rearview and who, like Brees, Brady, Rothlisberger etc will still be able to stay in the game and attempt a repeat of last night possibly if the Rams can retain all the talent they have and still have cap space at the end of the day just in case. I'm happy for the Rams and while the Bengals lost they made it there and *EARNED* their Superbowl Berth and by next season the doledrums will be over and the cobwebs shook off and I really hope to see Cinci get success after so many years of being an often looked over team because of lack of anything good going on.

As a Vikings fan, I was rooting for stafford the whole way, the man been a loser is whole career in Detroit and was able get out and finally prove why he was drafted number 1 overall in the first place. And also obj, guy was getting his named dragged in Cleveland and get scaped goated. He finally gets out and jumps to a winning situation and contributes well enough to get ring for himself

Goes to show how great a QB Stafford really is. One year with a great coach, great weapons, and a great defense and BOOM. World Champ.

You guys are underestimating just how much thjs super bowl win meant for us here in michigan. This was our super bowl. Seeing stafford win in such an amazing clutch drive making throw after throw literally made our year. Lions fans were rams fans the whole season. We love our boy here in the D.

Matt Stafford reminds me of the great John Elway, big , tough, cannon for a arm. There are very few QB,s with the balls or arm to throw across their chests across the field .Matt Stafford and John Elway were masters at it. Most times Elway put so much on the ball no one except his guy could handle it.MISS YOUR GO FOR BROKE STYLE OF PLAY JOHN.

Now I wait for Aussie rules 🏈 to start in 4 weeks. I encourage everyone here in the USA to start following it. Great game and the Grand Final is around week 4 in the NFL. It works out well giving one only 4 weeks of no 🏈.

3:48 got me LOL

This is soo good. The bull rush :) ring me lol

Just came here to inform everyone that about something I've been saying for years, this is addressed for all the Stafford sceptics. 1 week ago Stafford became the tied 6th best qb OF ALL TIME when it comes to game winning drives with 43 game wining drives. 1. Payton manning 54 2. Tom Brady 53 3. Drew brees 53 4. Big Ben 53 5. Dan Marino 47 6. STAFFORD 7. Brett Favre 43 8 Matt Ryan. 42 Against the Bengals he got his 44th Game winning drive and is 6th and he is only 33. He has had 3 game winning drives this post season ALONE. This is the REAL STAFFORD. He is CLUTCH, that's it... I've heard many critics about his inconsistencies and have unfairly overcriticized him about his play in a new system. THIS IS WHAT WE HAVE BEEN SAYING FOR YEARS, If Stafford ever gets freed from that cursed franchise that yields no good for anyone who enters the door, ITS OVER. Guess what? Superbowl in the first year on a new team. Heck he has produced 2 of the greatest qb-reciever connections of all time, MEGATRON and Kupp (1 and 2) . There is NO FINALS MVP KUPP without Stafford and THAT HAS TO BE RECOGNISED. What more is there to say? Stafford has been elite for 7 years straight and is a CERTIFIED HOF'er. Bye... Edit: I proud of AD and ODELL as well. Those messages have blessed the league for years and they deserved this chip.

Freaking happy for my boi Stafford (lion's fan) 🦁

4:16 no , you said it right the first time. Hahaha

“Drunk decision in cabo” 😂

Congratulations to the Refs

Aaron Rodgers will be leaving the Packers after this clip! Put him on the Bucs or Broncos (Underrated WR group bunch of monsters, strong run game with the Rookie and Gordon, Defense has always been solid)

this grass smokes better than the grass we used to smoke was legendary

Pretty good game... wish burrow would've got that final pass to perine would've been a classic moment and wouldve given us a little more football

Jalen Ramsey was pulling and tugging jersies. Let's call it like it was

I'm so happy the Rams won. I'm a born and raised Packers fan from Wisconsin but I always respected Matt Stafford. I'm happy he got a ring because if he stayed a Lion, he would have never seen a Superbowl. He's too good to be stuck on the Lions. Also happy for Donald, Kupp & OBJ. But I was disappointed to hear that Pat was cheering for the Bengals. But Ty's disappointed face at the end of the game was funny AF! lol

Top tier story telling by Mcafee

I know Pat isn't a Stafford hater but people have to chill when referencing his turnovers in the super bowl. One of them was a good throw to a fourth string receiver who bumps the ball up and over himself in a slant route. The second was a THIRD AND LONG arm punt outsides of FG range. It was a touchdown or a punt to the 20, you might not like it but it was a calculated play. He is probably the smartest or at least top 3 smartest QB in the league.

If the Bengals add pieces to their defense and OL, they'll be back for sure. Burrow and Chase are the future, hats off and luck to them.

I was Soooooo Happy for Stafford when he was TRADED to the Lams ... I'm not a Detroit Lions Fan, but I would watch their games just to watch Stafford. The Same with other Teams. I watch them for certain players. I watched Brady & the Bucs when Brady was TRADED. I didn't want the Bucs to Win. I thought KC would win. But when I Realized the Bucs were in the SB. I Knew it was a Game of Destiny for Brady & the Bucs. So I put All my Money on the Bucs & WON !!! I missed a bit on this one. I predicted a 35 - 21 RAMS Victory. But still made out well. I couldn't believe 9-7 Bengals made it to the SB CONGRATULATIONS Los Angeles RAMS !!! 🌞

Not gunna mention the offensive PI on Huggins TD that is only thing that stopped it from being a blowout? And killed the spread

Edelman , Kupp MVPs. We are witnessing a change from big outside WRs to quick feet inside WRs just like we saw the FB fade away, it won’t be as dramatic, but they will be the new no #1 targets along with the TE

They also missed the obvious false start by both tackles because the center snapped it late on the play Wilson was called with holding if they make the right call there the hold doesn’t ever even happen

If they had called the Jaylen pass interference the Bengals would have been behind at the end of the game and the Rams would have probably settled for a field goal or tried running the clock down more and the refs may have not called the last few penalties but then that’s coulda, woulda, shoulda stuff

That call on Wilson was definitely a personal deal. One of the refs being salty about the Ramsey play.

Great show Pat and great bets, you missed them all 😂 Next time you'll make another bet just text me so I can go to Vegas and bet everything I've got on the opposite team.

Stanford SB (Detroit Rams😭)🏆 was well deserved. Stafford proved it was us (Lions) not him as much as fake football fans like to think. Odell proved he was still elite despite the initial tear n suffering through Baker. AD proved that even taking 2 you still gotta deal with him🔥 when it’s all said and done you can’t take those rings away. Stanford had the most 4Q comebacks for a reason, he’s a different animal in crunch time. Odell was on his way to a SB MVP Trophy✊🏾. AD only needed one thing to “complete” his career…and let’s not forget…saved the best for last…COOPER…KUPP. #1 WR came through game in and out. Played through a concussion and all🐐

This is the ultimate "in your face" to the lions organization. All it took was 1 year in another team and this guy wins a SB.

It was a great game.

Lol the grass is greener reference was for Aaron Rodgers 😆

Higgins yanking Ramsey by the face mask was crazy. Refs acted like it didn’t happen. This was the 2nd TD they were gifted in the playoffs, the one against the Raiders was bs too. I’m glad the Rams won

It all went downhill after they won the coin toss also I can't get the image of a guy in flip-flops celebrating in the endzone. When the referee to that flag at the end of the game I seen how much time was left on the clock I feel like I was watching WWE makes me think about the George kiddle catch before half time.or whole entire Seattle Seahawks Pittsburgh Steelers Super Bowl

Lol 😂, funny as hell!!!

As a PACKER fan i was happy Stafford proved critics wrong. Donald was great as well as kupp. Both teams played well it was a very exciting SB despite refs calls and non calls.

Those weird flags at the end wouldn't have stopped the Rams from scoring anyways. Both teams were equal and Cincinnati had plenty of chances to take the game. Cinci had a glorious game and season. They'll be back.

As a bengals fan, the only issue I take out of this game is with Zac Taylor, we got lucky on that Higgins TD its that simple, and Zac Taylors offensive playcalling and gameplanning is the reason we lost and Burrow possible re injuring his knee, their is so much Zac Taylor did wrong offensively which has plauged this team all year long and i said he is a liability no body wanted to hear it even tho local reporters have criticized him all year long, now this guy is our coach for years to come and im not happy about the future with him as the HC at all, we will never win a championship with him here...

Aaron Rogers to the 49ers with Adams?? I wouldn’t want that as a Rams fan but that could be the next team. Defense wins championships

To be fair that interception into the endzone was pretty much an arm punt on 3rd and long. Would've been the same difference if he threw it away.

Stafford washed the stench of Detroit with this victory.

Hated that the refs finally decided to insert themselves and screw up the game in the last couple of minutes, the game was nice up until then. The most egregious spots being the bogus defensive holding on third down and the ball placement on the Bengals' final run being put back .5-1 yards back when it was run up to the end part of the L on the NFL logo. That was really a theme this year though, the refs being a deciding factor more than they should have been, and probably every team was effected by this, so it's not like the SB was a special case.

I love this show

Congratulations Rams 🙌👏👏👏

Almost enjoyed a Super Bowl... Almost

As a Bengals fan can't let the refs control the game. We didn't make the Plays to win the game. Congrats to rams... let's hope the front office addresses the o line and maybe..... just maybe build an indoor facility still will proudly say who-dey!!!!

Ramsey was absolutely not drug down by his facemask, it was grazed and unnoticeable in real time.

Happy for Mathforrd Stafew he had to be in Detroit for what 8 decades or so and played through it and made it to the ofher side.

For the 1st 3 quarters and 8 minutes, I genuinely thought the refs were doing well. They reffed it like they do in state of origin here in Australia. Where it’s still rugby league but the rules are a little less enforced. The tackles can be higher, the aggression can elevate, and it always leads to a spectacular game and that’s what it looked like for most of the game, the refs just seemed to let stuff go and let’s the dogs fight it out to find out who’s the big dog. Then really weirdly, in the last 5minutes the flags are everywhere. Usually it’s the opposite here the whistle goes away to avoid determining the out come with a penalty. Which honestly leads to garbage because everyone knows it and no one plays by the rules and the game turns to trash. Otherwise it was a great game.

Refs rigged it

I wasn’t a lions or rams fan but hove loved stafford since he went in and hated him being stuck in Detroit

That second pick was not on Stafford. Also after OBJ went down he was hitting dudes in the hands in small windows for conversions and they were just dropping them. And receivers were just giving up on their routes. To lead that last drive with no running game to be found was more impressive than just the stats show.

In Detroit 12 years nothing 1st year with LA wins Superbowl

Nobody even talking about the entire Rams offensive line false starting on the play that holding got called on the defense and changed the outcome of the game. It was one of the most obvious false starts ever.

The hold on Wilson was 2 seconds before what you think it was..and it was holding!

The pattern seems to be about going all in. Generally, that new team reset their approach, personnel, and mindsets. Big new change often makes people excited, and makes everyone feel like they are learning and resetting together - it sort of levels the playing field, instead of it just being about the same old stuff, with new guys trying to find their place in an existing system. It only has a little bit to do with the individual QB, and a lot to do with group attitude and personnel re-evaluation.
