Here are the top 3 stories in Cincinnati today:

1. It was an incredibly close game between the Cincinnati Bengals and Los Angeles Rams last night, and up until the fourth quarter, it looked like we might earn our first Super Bowl win. However, the Rams' last-minute touchdown pulled them ahead to claim a 23-20 victory over the Bengals. Though it was a heartbreaking loss for the Queen City, this was still a historic moment for the sports franchise, and the Bengals should be proud of their performance in last night's game and throughout the season.

2. Ahead of last night's game, sports teams all over Ohio took to social media to support the Cincinnati Bengals. The Bearcats and Musketeers shared their support for the Bengals, as well as universities and a few former athletes. Even professional teams outside the state rooted for Cincinnati, including the Seattle Seahawks. (WLWT 5)
3. Looking for some fun cultural activities in and around town? There are plenty of things to do in the Cincinnati area this week, including multiple concerts and theatre performances. Some highlights include the comedy "Menopause the Musical" at Aronoff Center for the Arts, Badfish's "Tribute to Sublime" 20th Anniversary Tour at Bogart's, and the Cincinnati Ballet's production of "Cinderella" at Cincinnati Music Hall.
