Now it’s MVP Julian Edelman getting open across the middle seemingly at will in Super Bowl LIII, those are the plays that all of us will remember for years to come.
But they aren’t the only ones that should be appreciated and remembered.
While they are still fresh following 13-3 win over LA Rams, here’s a look at nine plays not involving Edelman hat helped determine the outcome of Super Bowl LIII.
Tom Brady to Rob Gronkowski to set up the game’s only touchdown.
Throwing out of a run-based package is something the #Patriots had high confidence in these last two weeks (based on late season/playoff results). It comes into effect on the ball to Gronk. pic.twitter.com/nT2rKTtXSj

New England’s defense stuffing the Rams at midfield on an easy 3rd and 2.
Romo points out #Patriots playing two deep safeties here on 3rd and short. Completely against the norm. Goff remains shaky and we're nearly 2 quarters in. pic.twitter.com/IKMPJxhJOD
