many are missing some critical facts. NE was dominating the time of possession BEFORE the comeback. Maybe the Falcom's 2nd half was because of the NE defensive adjustments? And maybe Brady's ability to march the field in the 4th qtr is because, by then, the Atlanta defense had been on the field for 40 minutes! Go back and watch the film - their defensive line was gassed! And it all comes down to Matty Ice taking the sack....the ONLY thing they could NOT do in that situation...IF Bill B calls that play in that situation, the one thing he and his quarterback know when they break the huddle is NO SACK.
