ATLANTA – That year, goal records were shattered throughout the NFL, so it may be normal for the Super Bowl to be retro after the Patriots of the New -England won their sixth title at the time of Tom Brady / Bill Belichick.

The Patriots defeated the Rams 13-3, scoring the touchdown on the last touchdown seven minutes from time, after an unanswered match in which neither side could sustain offensive attacks.

Although the Patriots' dynasty is already the largest in the history of the NFL, winning a new title only reinforces their legacy. And that's particularly surprising, as New England may not be able to do this for much of the regular season, as Brady, 41, often plays below his usual level. .

But the New England defense intensified decisively at the Mercedes-Benz stadium, limiting the Rams to 14 first tries and 260 meters in the worst-performing Super Bowl of all time.

"It was an amazing year," Brady said in a post-game interview on CBS. "We fought more than anything, we are unbelievable to win this game."

SIX FOR BRADY: Pats QB continues to Add to his legacy

REVIEW: Maroon 5 played cautiously, that is why they were asked to play

Here are three things we have learned from Super Bowl LIII:

1. Julian Edelman was almost unstoppable: The Rams defense was sensational for much of this game. They took the race, they covered thoroughly and they were sufficiently in front of Brady to put him uncomfortably. But there was a weak point they could not understand. On so many key games, especially the third tries, Edelman was wide open below. Whether Aqib Talib or Nickell Robey-Coleman trying to cover him from man to man, Edelman found a way to gain space and got 10 receptions for 141 yards. Although he never found the end zone, a 25-yard catch in the first half scored the first goal of the Patriots to take a 3-0 lead at halftime. He also had a big 13-yard surprise on his final touchdown.

2. The Rams offensive failed at the worst moment: During the first eleven weeks of the season, the Rams offensive was an important part of realigning the way people went thought about the NFL. For a while, it seemed that anyone who was buddy with his 33-year-old coach, Sean McVay, was running for a head coaching position. But all of a sudden, in the playoffs, and especially in the Super Bowl, the Rams went awry.

Give the Patriots a great deal of credit for this. They blitz enough to maintain quarterback Jared Goff's balance, and their high school coverage was superb throughout the match. It was normal, then, that the game's key play came when Goff made a wild pitch against the pressure that cornerback Stephon Gilmore conceded at 4:17 from the end as the Rams tried to score for the decisive touchdown.

Goff did not play well. on the big stage. He finished with 229 yards and an interception after 19 out of 38 passes, and he will surely regret not running the shot on a safe touch with a time remaining at 3:35 in the third quarter while he was late on Brandin Cooks without anyone near him. in the end zone. It gave Patriots Jason McCourty just enough time to stop the Rams from taking the lead 7-3. Another key question for the Rams: what happened to running back Todd Gurley, who was not a factor in both the NFC title game and the Super Bowl, even as the team claimed to be 100% healthy? Gurley only ran 10 times for 35 yards and barely played in the first half.

3. The punters were the key to success: In a game where both defenses managed to stand out when they should, bettor Rams Johnny Hekker and bettor Patriots Ryan Allen presented their own show. Allen immobilized the Rams three times inside their 10-yard line, while Hekker repeatedly kicked LA The Rams had to get rid of their first eight goods, and Hekker was successful to reduce them in the 20 out of five cases of them. He also had a decisive 65-yard pass – a Super Bowl record – in the third quarter after the Rams got stuck in their 5s, taking advantage of a good rebound on the left-lane. It was the longest match in the history of the Super Bowl.
