This year's Super Bowl was played in Atlanta's Mercedes-Benz Stadium, which has served as the home of the Atlanta Falcons since 2017. Mercedes-Benz is paying $324 million over 27 years for naming rights to the stadium.

The New England Patriots defeated the Los Angeles Rams in this year's Super Bowl by a score of 13-3. The game featured the fewest total points in Super Bowl history and was the third-lowest scoring game from this NFL season, an anomaly in a season characterized by innovative, high-scoring offenses.
