Glad Rex got to be a part of it and get a ring. Must've been a nice change from Cincy.
A few plays really jumped out to me.
-Early in the game, the Pats threw a screen pass to Rex several yards behind the line and he was buried by the defender. Dude got called for "hitting a defenseless receiver?" and they get a first down on the person foul. I didn't see a ton of other questionable officiating after that other than the holding call later in the game.
-Goff waits entirely too long to throw to his wide open guy in the endzone allowing the safety to get over and knock it away. Should have been an easy TD.
-Ram receiver is open in the endzone and drops the ball in the corner of the endzone. It did look like his right arm was a little tied up with the defender, but he should have had an easy one arm catch. I know, one arm is not easy, but he is a professional. Make the catch. Its a TD.
-About one play later, they try the same play and it is underthrown bad after Goff is hit during the throw. Pass gets picked. That was ballgame right there.

I didn’t call the Rams offense weak. It still felt like deja vu seeing Suh with a dominate defense while his offense put up a lack luster performance during a championship game.
Pats just had better lines. Goff got pressured a lot more than Brady.
