There were 3 plays that really stood out to me that were the signaling of the end for the Falcons

The punt return by Edelman early in the 3rd, just something felt different after that return.

The Coleman injury play, they completely abandoned the run after that

The missed interception by Atlanta after the tip over the middle. Had to get a turnover as the D was gassed and just could not do it.

Edelman pulling that catch out of his arse.


He had a similar crucial play in the Seahawks SuperBowl on a third and long

how did you not include the sack on 2nd down on the 22 with 4 minutes left up 8 points?

Falcon's offense not stepping on the field for 68 minutes had to hurt them a little. That is a lot of time to cool off.

Patriots winning the coin toss. Everyone, including the Falcons, knew it was over then. The defense was 100% done at that point and Brady was in God Mode.

Had Falcons won the toss, they still had a chance with their offense.

Pats converted a 4th and 3 from about their own 40 when they were driving down 28-3. If they don't pick that up ATL gets great field position after they had just gashed the NE defense for a TD

Brady also had a nice scramble for a 1st down on 3rd and 8 later in that drive

As bad as the Falcons fricked up their last possession, they really screwed up after they recovered the onside kick. They get the ball at the NE 41 and they go:

1st Down: 9 yard pass to Hooper to the NE 32
2nd Down: Run Coleman, holding on Matthews, back to NE 42
2nd Down replay: Incompletion
3rd Down: Ryan sacked, loss of 9

They got the ball at the NE 41 and they couldn't even get a fricking FG attempt out of it. If they get 3 they go up 31-9 and the Pats have to score 3 TDs to have a chance

Ryan getting sacked to knock Atlanta out to borderline field goal range, holding call that pushes them out of field goal range.
