Feb 14 | Football
PISCATAWAY, N.J. – Former Rutgers football player Sebastian Joseph-Day and the Los Angeles Rams defeated the Cincinnati Bengals, 23-20, to win Super Bowl LVI on Sunday at Sofi Stadium in Los Angeles. Joseph-Day became the 16th player in program history to win a Super Bowl and the first since Duron Harmon, Devin McCourty and Jason McCourty won Super Bowl LIII with the New England Patriots.
Joseph-Day, who had been inactive due to injury since Week 8 of the regular season, logged three snaps at defensive tackle on Sunday. It was Joseph-Day's second Super Bowl, as he was a member of the Rams' 53-man roster as a rookie in Super Bowl LIII. Prior to his injury, Joseph-Day tallied 38 tackles and a career-high three sacks in seven games during the 2021 season, all starts.
The vibes are immaculate.
