The NE offensive game plan was puzzling. 79.1% of snaps in 11 personnel. No game over 70% in regular season. Got dime 53% of the time but still couldn't run.
Zero snaps in empty to try to spread the Seahawks out. Season-low in 21 personnel, 1.5%. One snap in Jumbo.
Just let Seattle play its game.

Underrated aspect of the pick-6 is Nick Emmanwori coming all the way over from the other side of the formation to cover up Diggs behind the Witherspoon blitz

Of the 52 quarterback performances in the Super Bowl since 2000, Sam Darnold is currently 38th in EPA per play 43rd in success rate. He's going to win the Super Bowl. Both sides can claim a win.
Most importantly where will the San Darnold discourse go from here

That touchdown is going to allow a bunch to them an opportunity for the big play to clinch it
Which Seattle defensive player would one give it to though??? This is what makes them so dangerous--instead of one superstar, they have a bunch of truly great players who play together so well.
If an offensive player wins Super Bowl MVP....

It's funny when the pressures aren't fully charted yet so the ratio is off, but this doesn't feel that wrong
