Teams were evenly matched, but Patriots were able to control the ball for most of the 1st quarter. That was a winning strategy (or luck) because the Rams defense played so much of the 1st quarter that they had no reserve energy for the 4th quarter. (If one looks back at NFL games over the past decade, the team that dominated the clock/ball control in the 1st quarter nearly always won the game. The halftime score was almost immaterial.)
But -- I wish they'd stop calling that ugly medal tossed a "coin." Or maybe use a real double eagle ... !

Assuming your statement is true (I think KC is far better than the Rams), then the Rams choked in the game - big time. Or they got outcoached - big time. Or both.
Bias? You must be JOKING. Any bias this year was against the NO Saints who also beat the Rams in the playoffs, but the refs stole that game from them.
Should have been Brees vs Brady. LA should have been playing golf yesterday, or whatever is in vogue on the shaky side.
I don't follow any of these teams so I don't really care who wins or loses - lifelong Green Bay fan back to the Lombardi days. Remember that trophy the Rams didn't win is named for good 'ol Vince.
There, I fell much better. Looking forward to next season.

I’m a Patriots fan and Brady may be the GOAT. But in this game he had one good drive in an otherwise marginal performance. It’s time for him and Gronk to retire. Go out as greatest, and his legend will grow with time. Don’t make us suffer through a couple years of watching them decline.

Without Edleman, Brady is 11/23 in passing for 121 yards.
Rams offense was non existent thanks to bad play calling, execution and the Patriot defense.

Don’t go overboard on Brady this game. The offense scored 13 points. That would be a loss in almost any SB. Credit needs to go to their defense!

Most all U.S. coins have "GOD" on them!

There are many gods to choose from on coinage but here's a depiction of Zeus with a beard that could have its own zip code:

GOAT !!!
Not quite a god or goddess, but did find an OMG coin for others' perusal.
Being a Vikings fan I’m so tired of hearing about the Saints call. Karma’s a ..... well you know.
