I never watch American Football, so this is the first Super Bowl I see.

Could someone explain to me why the Rams got rewarded for the tackle by Hightower? Weird to me as a noob.
Lol....to really explain it we would be here a while. Short explanation...the Rams weren't rewarded. It forced them into a more difficult kick because they were moved farther from the end zone.

But even though the kick was harder, the Rams still made the kick so they were rewarded with 3 points.

All right, thanks  :-[  :D

This.  A team can attempt a field goal -- essentially, a free kick -- any time it wants.  However, they traditionally do that on fourth down (as on earlier downs it makes more sense to try to advance the ball toward the touchdown goal line).

On Hightower's "sack" (a tackle of the QB behind the original "line of scrimmage"), the Rams lost yardage.  It forced them into their last down, so they decided to kick the FG.

CJ Anderson is "trying to keep Gurley focused"?

I'm pretty sure that focus isn't the issue.

It's like a hockey series.  During the playoffs, it's "he's good to go".  Afterward, it's "Bergeron has been playing with six broken ribs, a dislocated ankle, and a quadruple hernia".

That's a really weak holding call.  Run of the mill O-line play.

Alright, we survived some lucky breaks for the Rams.

Now we have to get into the end zone on this next drive.

Thanks for the explanation. This I understand  :D. Tp's for you and Nick.
