Super Bowl Liii is (mercifully) over: the New England Patriots defeated the Los Angeles Rams 13-3 in Atlanta. That 16-point total is a record low for a Super Bowl.
The Patriots, who had a 3-0 lead at halftime, finally scored the game’s first — and only — touchdown with 7 minutes remaining. So yeah, it was a pretty slow-moving contest on CBS.
After Sony Michel punched in that lone Td from the ground, young L.A. gunslinger Jared Goff got his Rams offense moving — and then threw a really bad interception. That flub, against an all-out blitz, pretty much took away any chance Los Angeles had of getting back in the contest.

The second-lowest-scoring first half in Super Bowl history has been the story of Super Bowl Liii so far, as two wily elder statesmen of defense – New England’s Bill Belichick and Los Angeles’s Wade Phillips – have managed to impose their will on the game. The result was a narrow 3-0 lead for the New England Patriots at the break.
The low-scoring game was unexpected. CBS analyst Tony Romo, who has made a name for himself as an expert predictor, had touted a higher-scoring outcome in the pre-game, guessing a 28-24 final. But the experience of Rams coordinator Phillips and New England’s Belichick has thrown that notion out the window.
The first quarter was something of a feeling-out defensive struggle. Although New England moved the ball, Rams defensive coordinator Phillips seemed to befuddle Brady with his scheme in key spots. Even though the Patriots took the ball inside the...

In a tightly contested game that surpassed all expectations, the Philadelphia Eagles beat the New England Patriots to win the Lombardi Trophy at Super Bowl Lii.
It was a Cinderella ending for the Eagles after they lost star quarterback Carson Wentz to injury late in the regular season, which tempered expectations. Led by backup quarterback Nick Foles, the Birds made it through the playoffs and withstood an onslaught from Tom Brady and the defending champs in Minneapolis, earning their first NFL championship in franchise history. Foles was named Super Bowl Mvp.

By all estimations, Super Bowl 50 will be the most-watched telecast of all time — but in theory, it could have potentially been even better for the NFL and host network CBS. TheWrap isn’t blaming Patriots kicker Stephen Gostkowski for missing an extra point on Sunday, opening the door for the Denver Broncos to hold a lead and ultimately advance, but surely some advertisers would have preferred a different outcome. (And not just the subsection that gambles heavily on the side.) A prominent theory you’ll hear a lot about, including on this website, is that NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell must be.
