Bengals fans think the Super Bowl was rigged and they’re so, so wrong
By Mark Powell
Cincinnati Bengals fans think Super Bowl 56 was rigged, but they couldn’t be more wrong about it. Heck, even Zac Taylor disagrees.
Bengals fans weren’t thrilled with the officiating at the end of Super Bowl 56. With the Rams in the red zone, Matthew Stafford threw an incomplete pass to force what NFL fans thought would be fourth down.
We were all wrong.
The Bengals were called for holding on Stafford’s intended receiver, thus giving the Rams a fresh set of downs. Eventually, Stafford would throw a touchdown pass to Cooper Kupp, giving Los Angeles a late lead they would never relinquish.
Thoughts on this call?

I mean, that’s not an obvious hold, so it’s easy to see why the Bengals fanbase would be upset. However, it’s convenient they cling to this call and not, say, the missed facemask to start the third quarter which directly led to a Cincinnati touchdown.
Bengals’ Tee Higgins gets away with a clear facemask on Rams’ Jalen Ramsey.

Bengals: Was Super Bowl 56 rigged?
Super Bowl 56 was not rigged, despite the tough call on the game-winning drive against Cincinnati. Bengals fans, however, might think differently.
NFL….. rigged. Don’t call a flag all night until the rams are about to score smh

I’m 100% convinced the NFL rigged the game for the rams to win it and you can’t change my mind https://t.co/v1FWgx6ppc

#SBLVI they basically just had a five minute commercial telling us the NFL is rigged. It is Hollywood after all.

Swallow your whistle the ENTIRE game and then throw that. Unbelievable. I was at the NOLA No Call and still laugh at any “NFL rigged” claims. That chips away at the facade

No calls the ENTIRE game but the refs realized they had to give the game to LA so they called holding. NFL RIGGED.

There were many more where that came from.
Unfortunately for Bengals supporters and those NFL fans who consider the outcome of games pre-decided, Cincinnati head coach Zac Taylor disagrees.
Zac Taylor said he thought It was a really well officiated game.

And that pretty much answers the question for us.
Next. Georgia football and Lions fans congratulate Matthew Stafford for winning Super Bowl 56. dark
