Why are the Rams not hurrying up?
Goff is just getting pummeled every play, even when he’s completing passes.
Definitely the under wins on that, Neil.
Finally Tony gets to use the words “genius” and “McVay” in the same sentence.
And play-action!
Nice screen to get things going for the Rams.
And CBS obnoxiously plays “I’m Shipping Up to Boston.”
A TD. Our long national nightmare is over.
The first touchdown! 10-3 New England, with seven minutes left.
Good for Gronk, especially if this is it.
Giselle trying to figure out which receiver to criticize if the Pats lose. (Probably not Gronk after that catch.)
GRONKED
We want MAHOMES!!!!!!
(And for the overtime rule.)
Neil, this is the punishment for the NFL for the Saints fiasco.
You mean, would they have scored a touchdown? The bar is pretty low.
Now I will bring up the what-if everyone will be speculating about: Would Kansas City-vs.-New Orleans have been a more exciting game?
Someone should have told Andy Warhol that you bang on the side of the ketchup bottle, not the bottom, since it’s a non-Newtonian fluid.
Totally anticipated typing that sentence today.
Hmm, Burger King neglected to note that Warhol actually wanted McDonald’s for that shoot.
I actually said out loud, “NO, DON’T DO THAT.”
“Now you just hand the ball off.” On third-and-20-something. I have no words.
Kurt Warner-to-Isaac Bruce, that was not.
Goff is something other than fast.
Throw. The. Ball. Away.
Pats defense seems to be relishing any opportunity to get a big hit in on Goff.
Flags 10, points 6.
Hey! Some play-action success for Jared Goff!
(In fact, between both teams’ receivers, only Edelman is ahead of Smith’s tally from last year.)
Torrey Smith had more receiving yards (49) in last year’s Super Bowl than anybody on the Rams so far this year.
OK, that Microsoft commercial got to me.
Geoff, to your question about playing a big role in a college championship and a Super Bowl, Tony Dorsett helped Pitt win the 1976 national title, then picked up 77 yards from scrimmage in Dallas’s Super Bowl win over Denver after the 1977 season.
Torrey Smith weighs in:

Goff gets a clean pocket and has plenty of time, for once, and he settles with a check down to Anderson. Then he commits a QB false start, which is a rare mistake.
I don’t understand how you forget the snap count you called.
I don’t think they’ll be reasonable about it, Geoff.
Does Vegas just sweep all those tickets if there are no TDs? Or do they offer a “No touchdown scored” longshot option?
According to ESPN, the old record for fewest combined points through three quarters in a Super Bowl was 9, in Super Bowl IX (Steelers 9, Vikings 0). That is gone now.
First TD prop still alive!
How many players have played a big part in a college national championship and Super Bowl in consecutive years?
One quarter left! At the end of three, we’re knotted at 3.
Nick Chubb has all of them beat. #DawgPound
And now Michel pulls ahead of Gurley in the UGA derby. FWIW, Michel also had more yards than Gurley with the Bulldogs, perhaps surprisingly.
The Rams have one third-down conversion, and the game is tied. (Though the Patriots only have three.)
And Ronnie Lott is the best Skechers pitchman to ever have part of his finger amputated midgame.
Sorry, Tony: Joe Montana still the GOAT QB to hock for Sketchers.
With 2:11 left in the third quarter, it’s a whole new game: New England 3, Los Angeles 3.
They actually did bring pressure, but the Rams still tied the game.
Rare miss on the prediction from Romo.
