This year’s Super Bowl failed to live up to its name.
The only superlatives that can be applied are to the Seahawks’ “Dark Side” defense (stifling) and their kicker, Jason Myers, who was stellar and scored every point in the first three quarters of the game. He went on to set a Super Bowl record with five field goals, which happens to be more than the entire New England roster could muster.
Aside from two well-placed passes from Patriots’ quarterback Drake Maye to Mack Hollins, just how bad were the Patriots in their feckless 29-13 loss?
New England very nearly became the only team in Super Bowl history to be shut out. (They finally scored in the fourth quarter.)
The Patriots punted the ball a near-record eight times.
Maye was sacked a near-record six times.
Here’s to a better game next year.
