I’ve noticed that the last six of the New England Patriots’ Super Bowls have been determined by how many plays they’ve run in comparison to their opponent:
NE-64 plays vs NYG-60 plays (2008) Loss
NE-60 plays vs NYG-68 plays (2012) Loss
NE-71 plays vs PHI-71 plays (2018) Loss
---
NE-71 plays vs SEA-50 plays (2015) Win
NE-88 plays vs ATL-51 plays (2017) Win
NE-67 plays vs LAR-56 plays (2019) Win
As you can see, when New England has gotten a significant advantage in the number of plays run, they’ve won the Super Bowl.
