It is 10:10 PM on Sunday February 3rd and the Patriots have made history (and tied it, too). The Patriots won Superbowl 53 13 -3 over the Rams 17 years to the day they won their first one against the Rams.
If was a tough defensive game with the score tied at 3 going into the 4th quarter. However, an amazing series of catches by Edelman and Gronkowski, with a TD run by Michel put them on top and a Gostkowski field goal sealed the deal.
This means the Pats - the goof troop of teams when I was a kid - are tied with the Steelers for the most Super Bowls of all time.
AMAZING!
Congratulations Super Bowl Champions New England Patriots
PATS WIN, PATS WIN, PATS WIN
Earlier this evening, the Patriots did what many thought was the impossible. They won the AFC Championship with a 37-31 OT victory over the Kansas City Chiefs. It was an amazing game with so many subplots:
Old QB vs. Future QB
Bill Belichick vs. Andy Reid
Gronk vs. Kelce
Brady vs the World
It was a tough game with excellent defense by the Pats as they went into the half up 14 to 0. However, we all know that KC has been tough all year and because they were the home team - and the Pats have had trouble on the road in the playoffs - all signs pointed to a comeback. And they did, taking the lead in the 4th quarter and then tying the game with 11 seconds left to play. Wow!
However, Tom Brady, who has shown signs of age this season, showed what he had when he needed it most, orchestrating a masterful lead drive in OT, and guiding the Pats to their 11 ever AFC Championship!
Amazing! Now onto the Superbowl, where they will meet the LA Rams (the team, though from St. Louis, that they beat to win their first Superbowl). In the proverbial words of 1980s Bostonians...Beat LA.
Last night, the Patriots made Super Bowl history.
They made the greatest comeback ever.
They were down 28 -3 in the third quarter and were able to come back in win in the first ever Super Bowl over time game 34-28 (I predicted 35-28, Pats....pretty close).
Tom Brady set a record for most passing yards in a game with 466. James White had a record with 14 receptions - the most ever in a Super Bowl.
The Pats tied it up on a two point conversion at the end of regulation. Wow!
Overall, a pretty amazing game...perhaps the best Super Bowl ever!
Ahhh, at last it is hear.
February 1, 2015.
Super Bowl Sunday!
It is early in the morning and we've been watching different TV sports shows to get all hyped up for the game. Emmie went out to get some food for the game. I am holding down the fort and the kids are excited about the game as well.
Of course, they are hoping for a New England win!!!
Go Pats!
