So, Tom Terrific did it again- his 6th victory in 9 tries: more than anybody else. It is an amazing achievement for an individual to attain such success over 17 years of a career. No doubt the combination of individual talent, leadership among the coaching staff(including Bill Belichick), and an owner(Robt. Kraft) with deep pockets helps keep the momentum up.
The game was billed as a contest between the old and the new. The new represented by Jared Goff and his coach at the LA Rams, Sean McVay, 24 and 33 respectively. Tom Brady is 41, and Bill Belichick is 66. It turned out to be a contest between defenses: the score by quarter tells the story-
1st qtr: 0-0
2nd qtr:NE 3- LA Rams 0
3rd qtr: Tied 3-3
Final:
New England 13-
Los Angeles Rams 3
Only 1 touchdown was scored by either team, with New England finally getting into the Red Zone to make it 10-3. LA came back later in the quarter and tried a field goal that missed. Finally, on a drive late, Jared Goff threw an interception on the 3 yard line that spelled the end for LA.
Many punts were kicked during the contest, with 3 downs and kick the order of the day. Both punters earned their pay. The LA kinker put a 53 yard field goal through the uprights for the team's only points in the 3rd quarter.
Bottom line: New England and Tom Brady continue their reign as masters of the art of Football in the NFL. HIs days are almost at an end calling signals as he is apt to age out any minute at 41+. Jared Goff should be on the verge of a long career, barring injury. He and his cohort members could take the NFL to a new era of sports.
The MVP
Julian Edelman was selected as MVP of the contest. The scrappy flanker caught a dozen passes for almost 200 yards, He was an easy choice because he stood out among all others. he had a banner day and provided lots of great moments for all fans everywhere.
Lake Tahoe, California's Alpine playground, is anchored on the west shore by Homewood/Tahoma, straddling two counties:Placer and El Dorado.
