Another year gone by.
Another chance to try to understand American Football.
New England Patriots vs Seattle Seahawks.
15 mins to kick-off..............
USAF Thunderbirds fly past - they sure know how to do a big game.
We're off........................
No repeat of last year's 12 secs score. Halfway thru' the 1st qtr. and the defences are on top.
Few first downs and the 1st quarter ends after 30 mins. Last year was 45 mins!
5 mins into the 2nd qtr and New England breaks the deadlock. TOUCHDOWN. 7-0
Looks like they've done their homework. Seattle have not completed one pass yet! New England have 18 (I think!).
2 mins left in 2nd qtr. Seattle have turned up at last! 70 yard drive ends with a TOUCHDOWN! 7 points each.
30 secs to the end of the half and The Gronk opens it up again. Easy catch - mismatch on coverage. 14-7 to Patriots.
6 secs to end of the half. What can Seattle do in 6 secs? Score a TOUCHDOWN! And still have 2 secs left. 14 points each at half time.
Bring on Katy Perry.
Worth watching just for her!
But - time for the second half.
And Seattle keep the momentum going. But only a field goal. 14-17.
5 mins to go in the 3rd. Best move of the game. Use the umpire to block the defence and its TOUCHDOWN to Seattle. 14-24.
Into the final quarter.
Less than 10 mins to go - 68 yard drive - TOUCHDOWN to the Patriots. 21-24.
2 mins to go - momentum with the Patriots - TOUCHDOWN. 28-24.
Seconds to go...Seattle get a lucky break with a tipped ball. 5 yards to go! BUT - Patriots get an interception!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
No time to get the ball back.....PATRIOTS WIN THE SUPERBOWL!
Great game.
