I feel so bad for the Falcons.
It's like the patriots knew everything that was coming in the second half. So brutal.
what a game!
Hate how the NFL handles overtime though. IMO each team should have a possession. Sudden death isn't fair.
It's really not. If the Pats had just scored a field goal, Atlanta would have gotten the ball to try and tie or get a touchdown. If they made a FG, they would have played sudden death till the next score. But because the Pats scored a TD, game over.
What sense does that make? The whole season comes down to the coin flip basically? What the hell's wrong with just giving each team the ball then if still tied, play sudden death from there?
Sure, both teams knew going in the winner of the coin flip had an advantage, but that leaves a lot of fans feeling pretty low afterwards. C'mon NFL, fix this.
