Free Press sports writer Carlos Monarrez answers three questions after the New England Patriots beat the Los Angeles Rams, 13-3, in Super Bowl LIII in Atlanta on Sunday:
I’ll cut right to the chase: No. New England coach Bill Belichick credited the Lions for providing a blueprint of sorts for slowing down the Rams, like Detroit did in a 30-16 loss in Week 13. But all that means is Belichick is great at turning over every stone. Belichick even credited Dallas sports writer Rick Gosselin with finding Julian Edelman. I’d be willing to bet Belichick spoke with Lions coach Matt Patricia about his late-season game against the Rams. But the Pats’ grind-it-out victory isn’t a sustainable recipe for NFL success. Don’t forget they scored 78 points in their previous two playoff games.
