Los Angeles Rams' strategy exposed in major Super Bowl blunder
The Los Angeles Rams were caught in an awkward gaffe during Super Bowl 56 on Sunday when their entire strategy was broadcast on live TV to 90 million people.
Rams coach Sean McVay could be seen holding up the team’s playsheet in the first half of their clash with the Cincinnati Bengals.

Crucially, it showed the team's major strategies and their priority plays for the NFL decider.

NFL coaches are usually hugely secretive about the plays they want to use.
McVay and Rams officials would have been seething that his playsheet was broadcast on live TV on such a big stage like the Super Bowl.
Los Angeles Rams win the Super Bowl
The Rams went on to defeat the Bengals 23-20 to be Super Bowl champions for the second time.
The Rams' only other NFL title came 22 years ago when they were based in St. Louis.
They have now managed to join last year's Tampa Bay Buccaneers as the only teams to win a Super Bowl on their home field.
The Rams trailed 20-16 before quarterback Matthew Stafford connected with star wide receiver Cooper Kupp for the match-winning touchdown with one minute and 25 seconds remaining.
Kupp had eight receptions for 92 yards and two touchdowns.
The receiver had four catches for 39 yards on the final drive along with a 7-yard run on fourth-and-1 to keep the drive alive.
He also set a postseason record for receptions with 33.
