Great Super Bowl. Aaron Donald is absurd
That brother @AaronDonald97 should win the MVP!!! Carry the hell on…
Sports are funny. Sean McVay has accomplished more than any coach ever at his age... and he was probably the Rams biggest impediment to winning today. They won despite his asinine play calling! But, history will not remember that at all.
LA Lakers superstar LeBron James also posted the LA Rams' celebratory moments from the stadium on his Instagram story.
The Rams were shorthanded following wide-receiver Odell Beckham Jr. going down with a knee injury in the second quarter. However, they saw a tremendous performance from Matthew Stafford, Cooper Kupp and the exceptional work of Aaron Donald to win the franchise's second Super Bowl.
THE LOS ANGELES RAMS ARE SUPER BOWL CHAMPS! https://t.co/1cx2f8s6nm
