Super Bowl LIII doesn’t get love for its “boring” gameplay but the New England Patriots put on a defensive masterclass to earn a sixth championship.
The Patriots earned a 13-3 victory over the Los Angeles Rams. Sean McVay’s offense lit up the scoreboard all season long with 32.9 points per game, the second-best mark in the NFL that season. Instead of a shootout, the Patriots won a slugfest and kept the Rams out of the end zone that night.
From a game-planning perspecitive, former Rams running back Todd Gurley since got a briefing of how much more prepared the Patriots felt in that championship setting.
