Kind of silly if you ask me especially considering they were averaging almost 6 yards per carry. It kind of reminded me of a silly play call made by Seattle in a previous Super Bowl
Atlanta ran 9 times for 18 yards I believe in the second half with 5? going for no gain or a loss. Pats changed their whole game plan on offense and defense. They put an extra rusher to put pressure on ryan. Plus pats were one of the best against the run in the regular season and one of the bottom 10 teams against the pass.
Fun fact though in the 4th after that amazing julio catch, if they just took 3 kneel downs and elected for a FG, matt bryant was 93.5% over the past 5 years from 40-45 yards away. Espn projected the falcons to have a 98% win rate. Even after the pats got the ball back, they had less than 10% chance of winning the game. ESPN said at 20 different points in the game, the falcons had a 99% chance or more of winning with the height being 99.8% chance in the middle of the 3rd.
