The NFL Super Bowl
Your #1 Seed, 12-4 NFC Champion Detroit Lions
VS
Your #3 Seed, 11-5 AFC Champion New England Patriots
New England wins the coin flip, and like normal, wants to defer. Joseph Malone takes the opening kickoff 94 yards to the house for a score! Dude is a weapon. They get the ball, drive quickly to FG range before going 3 and out and kick a 26 yard.
7-3 us
We do the same and we are stopped further back then they are, but Boone drops the 50 yarder.
End of the 1st – 10-3 us
We open the 2nd quarter with the ball, and Himes feeds Gardner inside the redzone for a TD and we are up at the 13:03 mark. We each exert some defensive pressure. They miss a 47 yard FG, and with under 2 minutes, Himes toss a pick that ends the half.
17-3 us
This is nothing new for the Patriots. They know what thy are doing. They drive on a long drive with 15 plays, more than half the quarter, and finish with a 17:10 spot at 6:11.
We get the ball and drive but nothing happens, and the Patriots grab a fast score and tie it.
17-17, end of the 3rd quarter
At the 14:45 mark, we get our first turnover of the day as Luis Hanks picks off the Pats. We have the ball in good position, and within a minute, Himes feeds Gavin a score.
They go three and out and we get the ball deep. We march forward and take about 5 minutes off the clock before Boone steps up and takes a 43 yard FG attempt home at the 3:21 mark.
Our foes, with all of their timeouts, march down the field and at the 1:12 mark, they score a TD and an Xp. They are now down by three. They are forced to try an onside kick, we recover it, and win.
