Nobody predicted Super Bowl 53 would be a defensive struggle but that’s what we got. For some, the game might’ve been boring. To someone who loves a defensive chess match, it was riveting and tense. You knew just one or two plays would make the game. Luckily the Pats made them and earned the win.
It’s hard to wrap my head around it all. I remember how satisfying 49 was after falling short for a decade. Now, after an impossible comeback overtime win in 51, the Pats have won three of the last five Super Bowls.
After a pointless debate of his Hall of Fame worthiness last week, Julian Edelman won MVP and pretty much cemented his HOF status. The Pats offense flamed out twice (INT, missed FG) and sputtered for most of the middle of the game. But it was Edelman who was always getting open, moving the chains. He also chipped in with a 13-yard catch on the only touchdown scoring drive.
Tom Brady moves to 6-3 in Super Bowls. It wasn’t his greatest Super Bowl performance, but I’m sure he’d take the 262 yards and an interception in a win over the 500 yards and three touchdowns in a loss.
