In 2019, the New England Patriots ground their way to history, defeating the Los Angeles Rams 13-3 at Super Bowl LIII in Atlanta, to post a record-equalling 6th NFL title. The two teams had previously played in Super Bowl XXXVI in 2002 — when the Rams were based in St Louis — with a young rookie quarterback named Tom Brady leading the Patriots to an upset victory.
Nearly a generation later, in a defensive game which never reached any great heights, the Patriots dominated play and could well have won by a lot more. Nonetheless, in the lowest-scoring Super Bowl of all time, New England did sufficient, and got the job done to give now-veteran quarterback, Tom Brady his 6th championship, the most of any player in NFL history. Coach Bill Belichick also made history, winning his Super Bowl ring — two as a defensive coach for the New York Giants and six as the Patriots’ Head Coach.
