Not joking, special teams were huge for the patriots.

Their punter was putting the ball inside the 20 every time, and the gunners (especially Slater) hauled ass down the field to down the ball inside the 5 multiple times.

The rams had 90 Yards to go many times, and that speaks volumes to Belichek’s ball control offense.

It seriously felt like a rugby game at points, kicking for field position. Kudos to the Patriots for being proficient in all three phases, and being able to rely on D/ST when the Offense was sputtering.
