I can’t imagine it’s ever easy to be on the losing side of a Super Bowl and to watch the opposing team celebrate amid all the chaos on the field. That’s why it’s always an impressive show of sportsmanship when the losing quarterback manages to catch up with the winner.
There have been times where no postgame handshake between quarterbacks takes place, but there was no snub after Sunday’s Super Bowl 56. Not even close.
As the Rams were busy celebrating their 23-20 win over the Cincinnati Bengals, cameras captured footage of Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow meeting with Matthew Stafford on the field. The two shared a long conversation and handshake before parting ways.
And it was a particularly great gesture from Burrow, putting aside the disappointment to congratulate Stafford on his long-awaited Super Bowl title.
