A dud

If most Super Bowls were like tonight’s, I wouldn’t make it an annual priority to watch the game.

Patriots 13, Rams 3.

This was the Patriots’ sixth victory in a Super Bowl.

It also featured their largest winning margin in a Super Bowl. It was their “blowout” victory, so to speak.

Their defense played lights-out. Then again, the Rams’ once-great offense had been pretty well contained by several teams late in the season. (And let’s admit it: hardly anyone who watches football really knows how defending works; I certainly don’t.)

It was a good game to watch with Karin’s dad’s family (hardly football purists). They talked all the first half about the newest Pokémon and superhero movies, then complained because at halftime Maroon 5 didn’t play what they wished to hear.
