This is it. This is what all football fans have been waiting for since August. Actually, more like last February.
Unfortunately, this year’s Super Bowl is already a disappointment to many fans who feel like the New Orleans Saints were robbed of a win with the missed flag that allowed the Rams to tie up the game and eventually win. Others lament the return of the New England Patriots to the Super Bowl.
“Anyone but the Patriots” was a common answer (including my own) last week when asked who was going to the Super Bowl; but they made it back. Tom Brady, who was the subject of retirement rumors last year, showed no signs of stopping as playoff Brady returned and looked more dangerous than ever.
Like it or not, the stage is set. The team who has been dominant forever vs. the team making a comeback. The rookie vs. the veteran in both quarterbacks and coaches. The GOAT quarterback against the league’s best defensive player, Aaron Donald. All of these scenarios show that despite the disappointment last week, it looks like it will be a good one to watch.
