Some great points by Peter King, especially the following.:
"4. Leftover Super Bowl Thought, Part 3. Talking with several Patriots coaches after the game, many remarked how the game would be decided by execution, as most are when the talent level is that close. There’s little doubt the Patriots were the better team in that regard, especially when it came to Seattle’s sloppy offense. The Malcolm Butler play is a perfect example. There were myriad errors by the Seahawks on that play: Wilson staring down the receiver and his ball placement, Jermaine Kearse not going inside of Brandon Browner to make sure he rubbed Butler, and Ricardo Lockette’s tentative route. If it was Brady executing that play to Edelman off a Brandon LaFell rub, there’s no doubt in my mind they score 100 out of 100 times, because of the attention to detail off all three players and their coaches."
"Tasting immortality on the brink of back-to-back championships, Seattle had its hopes dashed by Malcolm Butler and Darrell Bevell. Climbing back up the rarest of mountains—no team, not even the Patriots, has appeared in three consecutive Super Bowls in the salary-cap era—is going to be altogether different."
