Further to the post two posts below, the Patriots beat the Rams in the Super Bowl this evening with great help from the refs.
- A bad roughing call against the Rams on a clean tackle changed the momentum of the game at that early time.
- A bad offensive holding call against the Rams after a nice gain stopped a nice drive, and the Patriots scored their only touchdown on the ensuing drive.
- Toward the end of the game, down 10-3, the Rams threw a pass inside the Patriots’ 1-yardline where there was blatant pass interference that wasn’t called. Had it been called, the Rams almost definitely tie the game and have momentum. Just prior to this play, I texted a friend saying the refs need to start thinking about making a bad call since the Rams were threatening to tie.
Please read the post two posts below for additional information. 4 of the Patriots’ 6 Super Bowl wins were gifts, as this one was also a gift because not even considering the calls above, they were only in the game because the Chiefs player lined up offsides as mentioned in the post below.
