The team from Cincinnati scored 10 points in the third quarter and clearly, the odds had shifted towards them before the fourth quarter began. However, we had another twist in the tale as the Rams completely outplayed their opponents in the final quarter to eventually emerge victoriously by 23-20.

As soon as the game came to a close, fans took to Twitter to congratulate the Rams for the wins, however, innumerable NFL fans also pointed out that the Refs made poor calls throughout the contest which had a huge impact on the game.

Many claimed that the NFL rigged the outcome to overwhelmingly favor the Rams. However, it would be fair to say that a few calls by the refs went against the Rams as well. In the opening play of the second half, Burrow found Tee Higgins on a 75-yard touchdown which gave the Bengals a four-point lead.

However, as Higgins went through to the end zone, Jalen Ramsey was left shellshocked that no flag was thrown. In the end, the Rams will not be as disappointed by the calls as the Bengals would be as the coveted trophy would make all troubles and negative thoughts go away.
