1st quarter: Tom Brady’s first pass attempt of the game was intercepted by the Rams’ Cory Littleton.
Second quarter: The Rams’ defense stalled the Patriots drive, but Gostkowski managed to make his second attempt from 42 yards to give New England the lead.
Through 25 minutes, there haven’t been many highlights from Atlanta. Here’s a recap of the first 10 drives:
Interception, Punt, Missed FG, Punt, Punt, Punt, FG, Punt, Punt, Punt
3rd quarter: Four more punts as the Patriots and Rams
trade field position. It’s worth noting that the lowest-scoring Super
Bowl in history was the Dolphins’ 14-7 win over the Redskins in Super
Bowl VII. We could be breaking records tonight, folks.Rams punter Johnny Hekker now holds the record for the longest punt in Super Bowl history. That’s… something?The Rams are finally on the board. Los Angeles put together it’s longest
drive of the game, but still needed kicker Greg Zuerlein to nail a
53-yard field goal. He delivered. Jim Nantz noted it was the first field
goal from 50-plus yards in the Super Bowl in 15 years.
4th quarter: With 10:25 remaining in the game, Tom
Brady and Jared Goff have passed for a combined 322 yards. Johnny Hekker
has punted for 378 yards.Two big passes from Tom Brady to Rob Gronkowski brought the Patriots to
the Rams’ goal line, and Sony Michel punched the ball in to score the
first touchdown of the game. 10-3, Patriots.The Rams’ offense finally came to life on a crucial drive, but after
driving his team to the Patriots’ 27-yard line, Jared Goff floated up a
pass that was easily picked off by Stephon Gilmore.The Patriots took over with 4:04 remaining and drove 72 yards down the
field, but came up inches short from a 1st down that would have ended
the game. Instead, Gostkowski kicked a 41-yard field goal to put the
Patriots up two possessions and sealed the victory.
