The Debrief: Super Bowl surprises; what's next for Pats, Rams?
[www.nfl.com]
It started with a defensive performance for the ages. It ended with a kick. Bill Belichick, perhaps football's foremost historian, might appreciate more than anyone how the Patriots' sixth Super Bowl championship had so many echoes of the victory that began the dynasty 17 years before.
His best shutdown cornerback, Stephon Gilmore, played sticky man coverage and picked off a crucial pass on Sunday, just like newly minted Hall of Famer Ty Law did when New England stopped "the Greatest Show on Turf" in February 2002. An inventive game plan by Belichick and defensive play caller Brian Flores flummoxed the Rams' high-scoring offense, with pressure coming from all corners. Tom Brady was carried by his teammates at times, yet came up with a game-winning fourth quarter drive soon after the Rams tied the game. And the game was clinched on Stephen Gostkowski's kick, like it was on Adam Vinatieri's boot in New Orleans.
