It was a masterpiece.
Taking a 31 point average team down to 3 points.
Football people will be studying that one for a while.



These are all the correct answers. It was a boring Superb Owl to the general spectator. It's the one singular game that most want to be exciting with lots of scores (of course). But it was a hell of a defensive special. It often looked there was an extra DB / S on the field at times. The Pats O' did a great job game planning away from the center of the Rams D with Edlebeard. Suh was around early in the game and then he vanished for the most part.

If I were the Rams, sometime in the early to mid 3rd quarter, I would have pull out some tricks to try and break the game free. I figured they would have figured they'd have nothing else to lose, but instead played it super safe the whole game. IDK.
