During the two weeks leading up to Super Bowl LVI, one of the most discussed topics was the battle between the Rams’ pass rush and the Bengals’ offensive line. It was an obvious mismatch that favored the Rams, boasting a unit led by Aaron Donald and Von Miller.
The Bengals allowed Joe Burrow to be sacked more than any quarterback during the regular season and gave up nine sacks in the divisional round against the Titans, very clearly entering the Super Bowl as Cincinnati’s biggest weakness.
So what do you get when a dominant pass rush meets a terrible offensive line? Pressure, pressure and more pressure. To the surprise of no one, the Rams’ defensive front owned this matchup with the Bengals’ pass protectors.
