The Bengals didn’t call timeout and helped Matthew Stafford hit his rushing over

The Los Angeles Rams are Super Bowl 56 champions and there are certainly bettors out there who are wealthier because of it. That is if your ticket didn’t crumble after parlaying the Rams ML with one of the crazy number of props that this game provided. One prop that had legs until literally the last play of the game was Matthew Stafford’s over/under of 5.5 rushing yards.

As Aaron Donald wrapped up Joe Burrow and flung him around on the game’s deciding play, there were only two things left for the Bengals to do — accept defeat while pocketing their final timeout, or burn their final timeout unnecessarily.

They chose the former, which meant no kneel down for Stafford who finished with six rushing yards for the game.

If you took the over, rejoice.
