MINNEAPOLIS – Tom Brady throws for 505 yards and three touchdowns. Ryan Allen had zero punts. Three Patriot receivers had over 115 receiving yards. Their first three drives of the second half go for touchdowns.
Another Super win for the Patriots, right?
Not on your quarterback touchdown receptions. Super Bowl LII featured each quarterback being targeted for a catch, two missed extra points, two missed two-point conversions, one total punt for the entire game, two touchdowns which needed replay scrutiny, and an NFL postseason record of most combined yards on offense by the two teams. The Philadelphia Eagles took an early lead, the Patriots rallied to take a fourth quarter lead, and right up until the end you the Patriot fan figured your team would win.
