The New England Patriots are Super Bowl champs yet again, defeating the Los Angeles Rams, 13-3. Whether you love it or hate it, that is the sixth Lombardi trophy the organization has won over the past 18 years. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Of course this was not the type of game NFL viewers were expecting, in fact quite the opposite happened. Heading into the game the Rams were ranked No. 2 in scoring average points of 33 per game. However, Patriots\u2019 head coach Bill Belichick and his defense were somehow able to hold the Rams offense to a astounding total of only three points. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The game was a very defensive dominating performance, which would break the NFL record for the lowest scoring game in history. The first quarter was scoreless after Patriots kicker Stephen Gostkowski missed a 41-yard field goal. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Though later in the second quarter he redeemed himself with a 42-yard field goal with 10:29 left to go in the first half. The Rams would finally get on the board late in the third quarter, tying the game at 3-3 on a 53-yard field goal by Greg Zuerlein with 2:11 to go. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the fourth quarter, Patriots Quarterback Tom Brady put together the best drive so far in the game by completing a 29-yard pass to tight end Rob Gronkowski to set the team up for a touchdown at the Rams 2-yard line. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
A hand-off to running back Sony Michele led to a TD with 3:40 left to go in the game. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
With 1:12 left in the fourth quarter, the Patriots were forced to kick a field goal giving the Patriots a two-possession lead. In one final attempt by the Rams, Jared Goff would lead the team down the field to kick a quick field goal. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
This would be a 48-yard field goal to make it a one possession game, but kicker Zuerlein missed it far left with five seconds remaining. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
This would end the game with Brady to just take a knee to finish.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
