In fact, I was perplexed at several of the calls after that.
My wife got up and said its over after the pats got within 16. I said they only need 2 TD's, it definitely isn't over. But when they got into FG range I said, all they have to do is run a little time off the clock and kick the FG... the most important thing is to keep the clock running or get them to use a timeout but a FG would seal the deal... What happened next is one for the ages in its stupidity. I said to her I can't believe what is happening. I expected what I saw from the Pats because they are a very good team and had the momentum. But the Falcons were a bewilderment. They lost the momentum and couldn't handle it.
