Apparently the Patriots are really lucky at getting teams in the Super Bowl that don’t want to win. Why didn’t the Seahawks run the ball? Why didn’t the Falcons just kick the field goal?
The score was 28-20 with 4:11 on the clock. Falcons had the first down at the 22-yard line, well within field goal territory. They could’ve run the ball three times, draining the clock or forcing the Patriots to waste their timeouts and then kicked the field goal to give themselves an 11-point lead.
The game would’ve been theirs.
