Welcome to Super Bowl 56 hype week! Ranking best of NFL's championship game
Welcome to Super Bowl 56 hype week! Before we dig even deeper, here's the latest around the NFL:
- Saints RB Alvin Kamara was arrested in Las Vegas after playing in the Pro Bowl.
- NFL commissioner Roger Goodell said that the league's diversity efforts produce "unacceptable" results.
- Hall of Famer Eric Dickerson is a grim reminder of the bodily toll of NFL glory.
- The AFC defeated the NFC in the Pro Bowl, and Chargers QB Justin Herbert was the game's MVP.
Before dissecting the Cincinnati Bengals and Los Angeles Rams for their showdown in Super Bowl 56 (though, be sure to check out Paste BN Sports all week for the latest from Los Angeles), we take a look back at the best of the NFL's championship game.
Paste BN Sports' Nate Davis has put the previous 55 Super Bowls into historical perspective to rank the best teams, players, games and moments.
In non-Super Bowl developments, the Dolphins have a new head coach and the Texans appear to be closing in on filling their vacancy. And Paste BN Sports' Brent Schrotenboer created a database of NFL players who have been suspended for PEDs and related substances since 2001.
