1. Goff looked awful

There’s simply no way to put how awful Jared Goff looked under center for the Rams in the Super Bowl, and whether it seems fair or not, the young quarterback is going to receive a good amount of blame for what took place on Sunday.

A high-powered offense like Los Angeles that consists of all sorts of dangerous weapons for Goff to work with should never be held to scoring only three points in a Super Bowl, no matter how good New England’s defense is.

From his costly interception towards the end of the game to all of the passes that were under thrown, Goff just had one of those games in which he couldn’t get anything clicking on offense, and it happened at the worst time possible.

Yes, Goff will learn from this experience, and yes, the Patriots deserve a ton of credit for their game plan on defense since holding the Rams’ offense to three points is beyond amazing, but it’s not going to make what took place any easier.

The whole reason Los Angeles traded up for Goff back in 2016 was due to the belief he was capable of being a top quarterback in the league, which the Super Bowl made clear isn’t the case, at least not at the moment.
