About Super Bowl LIII in brief
The New England Patriots defeated the Los Angeles Rams 13–3 in Super Bowl LIII. The game was played on February 3, 2019, at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta, Georgia. The Patriots’ victory was their sixth, tying the Pittsburgh Steelers for the most Super Bowl championships. It was the first Super Bowl with no touchdowns scored by either team in the first three quarters. Julian Edelman, who caught 10 passes for 141 yards, was named Super Bowl MVP. The broadcast of the game on CBS, along with the halftime show headlined by U.S. pop group Maroon 5, saw the smallest Super Bowl audience in 10 years. The NFL unveiled the official Super Bowl logo in February 2018; it is a navy blue-tinted version of the official design of the Super Bowl LI logo. The host committee featured a stylized rendition of Mercedes- Benz Stadium’s roof’s overhead rendition of the NFL logo. It is the first time the NFL has used a blue and red logo in a Super Bowl. The Super Bowl is the only one in which both the Patriots and the Rams did not score a touchdown. It also marked the lowest-scoring Super Bowl game in history, eclipsing the previous record of 14–7 held by Super Bowl VII, and the lowest scoring league championship contest since a 14–0 score was recorded during the 1949 NFL Championship Game. This marked the 14th meeting in a major sports championship between the Los Los Angeles and Greater Boston areas. The Rams finished the regular season with a 13-3 record under 33-year-old head coach Sean McVay and third-year quarterback Jared Goff, and advanced to their fourth Super Bowl appearance overall, and their first one since relocating back from St.
Louis to Los Angeles in 2016. New England finished the 2018 season with an 11–5 record to earn the #2 seed in the AFC and their 17th season at least ten wins in their 19 years under head coach Bill Belichick. They went on to join the Miami Dolphins and Buffalo Bills as the only teams in NFL history to reach three consecutive Super Bowls. With the Rams now playing in Los Angeles, Super Bowl LIII marked the first Super Bowl appearance of a Los Angeles-based team since the then-Los Angeles Raiders’ victory in Super Bowl XVIII. After three votes, Atlanta was awarded Super Bowl LIII at the NFL owners’ meeting on May 24, 2016. The losing candidates, except for New Orleans which removed itself from the voting for all games except Super Bowl due to event conflicts in 2020 and 2021, were then pitted against SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California for Super Bowl lIII and Super Bowl LV hosting rights. Miami eventually won the rights to host Super LIV and Los Angeles won therights to host Super LVI. However, on May 23, 2017, NFL owners opted to award Super Bowl LV to Tampa and give Super Super LVI to Los Angeles after it was announced that SoFi Stadium would open in 2020 due to construction delays.
