But with less than two minutes left in the game, a series of penalties from both teams led to the Rams scoring a touchdown for a three-point lead with 1:25 remaining. They ultimately won 23-20.
The Rams previously defeated the Tennessee Titans during Super Bowl XXXIV back in 2000, when the team operated out of St. Louis. With their latest victory taking place on their current L.A. home turf, the parade is sure to be quite the celebration for the City of Angels.
