This yr’s Tremendous Bowl didn’t stay as much as its title.
The one superlatives that may be utilized are to the Seahawks’ “Darkish Aspect” protection (stifling) and their kicker, Jason Myers, who was stellar and scored each level within the first three quarters of the sport. He went on to set a Tremendous Bowl file with 5 discipline targets, which occurs to be greater than your complete New England roster may muster.
Other than two well-placed passes from Patriots’ quarterback Drake Maye to Mack Hollins, simply how dangerous had been the Patriots of their feckless 29-13 loss?
New England very practically turned the one staff in Tremendous Bowl historical past to be shut out. (They lastly scored within the fourth quarter.)
The Patriots punted the ball a near-record eight instances.
Maye was sacked a near-record six instances.
Right here’s to a greater recreation subsequent yr.
