The New England Patriots enjoyed an impressive – if not altogether expected or entertaining – triumph over the Los Angeles Rams in Super Bowl 53. A game many had pegged as a likely shootout to the finish was anything but; instead, fans were “treated” to a low-scoring defensive slugfest between two teams that couldn’t get anything substantial going on offense for most of an hour.
In the end, Patriots fans will take it for what it is: a sixth Super Bowl championship, which ties the franchise with the Pittsburgh Steelers for the most all-time in NFL history.
