What Went Down In Super Bowl LIII

And that’s a wrap! Congrats to the Patriots, who extended the greatest dynasty in NFL history (and won their sixth Super Bowl) with an all-time defensive performance that harked back to Belichick’s days of old.

Thanks to everyone who followed along with us, and to those who read our work all season long. Although the Super Bowl itself was far from a shootout, this was one of the highest-scoring, most exciting NFL seasons in a long time, and we can’t wait to see what happens next year.

See you then!

I think the Patriots succeeded in getting pressure on Goff, which was a big part of the game plan. But to me, this was just as much about Goff not executing. I don’t see how 20 different current QBs don’t play better in this one. The Pats defense did well, but he’s not playing the 1985 Bears here. He’s not even playing the 2018 Bears.

Was the difference tonight line play and pressure? According to ESPN Stats & Info, Goff was under pressure on 43 percent of his dropbacks in the game. Brady, by comparison, was pressured on only 14 percent of dropbacks.
