No 3peat for Pats
Downright Unpatriotic!
FUMBLE!!!
The New England Patriots will not win three Super Bowls in a row. In a game in which the Pats outplayed their opponents in most facets of the game, they came up short where it counts most, the final score, because they seemed to forget the cardinal rule every football player learns before they are ten years old: hold on to the football.
Turnovers led to the Broncos scoring almost all their points off of Patriot mistakes.
Every team has an occasional game like this where Murphy’s law seems to rule: too bad it came in the playoffs for the Pats, because Pittsburgh upset the Colts and Carolina whumped the Bears, leaving a seemingly clear path to the Super Bowl for the Pats. But they have only themselves to blame, and oh yeah, one horrendous pass interference call by the refs that led to a Bronco touchdown.
A frustrating end to a frustrating season. Oh, well, spring training begins soon.
