That was a crazy Super Bowl, the Pats played both their worst game in the first half, and their best game in the second half, with 31 unanswered points. They never even held the lead.... until that final play.

I was going nuts when they were down 28-3, I nearly turned it off and went to bed. But why were the Falcons throwing the ball when all they had to do was run it twice and kick a field goal, to put the game out of reach?

I think the Falcon's coaching gave that game away with those types of bad play calling vs the Pats taking the game away. The Pats were able to stop the run in the second half, maybe that's why the Falcons were throwing, but all the Falcons had to do was work the clock, they seemed to forget how to do that.
