I think I read on this board that the pats were getting the jump due to tells they had seen on tape....
Other than Sullivan and Blythe both being weak spots on the OL. And certainly NE could have focused on the weak spots on the OL to get pressure on Goff.
Once I saw the phantom holding call I kind of gave up hope... that said, there is something to be said for SB experience and the Rams had very little going in... including the HC. Rams gained valuable experience and should they be fortunate enough to return to the SB they will be more properly prepared.
