That's what happened.
Yeah, I think that was the biggest factor in the loss. And that was set up by the absence of running plays being called by Shanny. Major mistake. Falcons have a very good running game, and Shanny shouldn't have dumped it. Up by 25 in the Super Bowl, you run the ball. Kill the clock. The offense was rarely on the field in the second half. The defense was on it constantly.
TV talking heads are arguing if the Pats won the game or the Falcons lost it. Personally, I go with the latter.
