The Patriots just won Super Bowl LIII 13-3 over the Rams. It was probably the most boring Super Bowl in my life time. It was definitely the least memorable. I can't think of an NFL championship game in the last 20 years that had so little of note happen. This isn't just a complaint about the low score. Low scoring games can be interesting if there are exciting defense plays or turnovers. Super Bowl LIII had none of those. There were two meaningless interceptions, five total sacks, and no fumbles. The game was basically incomplete passes and 2 yard runs.
The most memorable part was probably Todd Gurley not getting the ball. For some unknown reason the Rams decided to use C.J. Anderson just as much as Gurley (9 touches to 10). Although neither player did well. Anderson had 34 total yards and Gurley had 34.
The game won't even be remember for its winner. Unlike say Super Bowl 50, where the Broncos won a defensive shown down 24-10, there was no feel good story for the champion. The Patriots have won six Super Bowls now. They have won three of the last five NFL championship games. Additionally the Patriots biggest star, Tom Brady, had a mediocre game. He went 21 for 35 for 262 yards and no touchdowns. Nothing special about his performance. This one will just melt into the collective memory of the Patriots being good.
Super Bowl LIII was probably the most boring rendition of the game in the last 20 years.
