A sloppy, listless game like Sunday’s might make it hard to immediately declare the Patriots’ championship run this century as one of the best in N.F.L. “It took all kinds of ways to get this done, even week by week,” Brady said. The Patriots were having their problems, but the Rams’ offense was hapless (they had just two first downs in the first half). There was one Patriot having a spectacular game: wide receiver Julian Edelman, who had 10 receptions for 141 yards and was named game’s most valuable player. The Rams tied the game with a field goal of their own in the third quarter.
