My observations:
1. Pink's National Anthem was good, in that she didn't over-extend it. I think the over/under prop bet was 2:00, and she was well under that. But she was flat on all the high notes.
2. I felt like the refs did an excellent job controlling the game without littering the field with flags and unnecessary reviews. Only 7 penalties all game for a total of 40 yards. I don't remember a single offensive holding call. Either the players played with discipline or the refs simply let them play. Either way, that made for a hugely enjoyable game.
3. Only ONE punt all game? Holy crap!
4. As a whole, the commercials this year seemed WAY better than I can remember in a LONG time. I particularly liked the Dodge commercial with the Vikings. There were a couple in the second half that were really good, and they usually shoot their wad with all the good commercials in the first half.
5. Brady is still the GOAT. I have a friend who says Montana and Unitas were better, but I just don't see it. Yes, Montana was 4-0 in Super Bowls, but isn't making the Super Bowl and losing a greater accomplishment than not making the Super Bowl? And I think his reference to Unitas is only to make himself feel like he's giving a nod to the pre-Super Bowl era players.
6. Foles played an AMAZING game and was able to do so because his coach trusted him. A well-deserved MVP award, and props to both of them.
7. I really do hope that this game shuts up the idiots who claim the Patriots' success has been all about cheating and biased officiating.
8. I only saw a couple of minutes of the halftime show because I was grilling at halftime. From what I saw, JT was BORING AF, and the whole thing was a giant waste of time. I was, however, quite impressed with how quickly they got the field ready to play after the show was done.
