The Bengals have reached their first Super Bowl since 1988 this year, although they're yet to win a title game in the franchise's history.

Despite the Bengals coming bottom of the AFC North in 2020 - losing 11 of their 16 matches - they came out firing in 2021, and managed to finish top of the league.

The Bengals' success has been largely attributed to Burrow's incredible season - showcasing the talent that led him to the No 1 draft pick in 2020.

During this year's regular season, Burrow had the highest pass completion rate of any starting QB in the NFL, and the third-highest yards-per-game.

Meanwhile, the Rams will be hoping for their second Super Bowl win in the franchise's history.

They last won the sport's top prize in 1999, when the team was known as the St Louis Rams.

The Ram's QB, Matthew Stafford, has re-invigorated his career since moving from the Detroit Lions last summer.

Stafford posted his joint-best pass completion rate this year, as well as his best team win record.

How long does the Super Bowl last?

There's no set amount of time that an NFL match lasts, due to the stoppages between plays.

There are, however, four quarters of 15-minutes, separated by a half-time break.

From start to finish, an NFL match usually lasts about three hours.

But, for the Super Bowl, you'll want to allow yourself up to four hours.

When is the half-time show?

There's no definitive time for this year's half-time show, but it will immediately follow the end of the second quarter.

It's estimated to get underway at about 1am, and will include performances from Eminem and Snoop Dogg.

What time will the Super Bowl start and end?

This year's Super Bowl will get underway at 11.30pm UK time at the SoFi Stadium in LA.

With that in mind, you'll likely have to stay awake until just before 3.30am if you want to see the result.
