The Atlanta Falcons somehow managed to blow a 25-point against the New England Patriots. I have no clue how they managed to do that. It was as impressive a display of incompetent implosion as I’ve seen in quite some time. It was also one exciting Super Bowl, which is apparently what you always get when the Patriots get the chance to win the Lombardi Trophy.
Matt Ryan put up a terrific performance, and the Falcons defense was surprisingly dominant until the fourth quarter. But they couldn’t keep Brady and company contained forever, and Kyle Shanahan somehow could not drain enough time off the clock to preserve a 25-point(!
