Overtime Rules

And that they trailed 28-3 with 3 minutes left in the third. That's friggin insane.

The last 27:29 minutes of football in the Super Bowl was as dominant a 27 minute stretch that probably has ever been played in the NFL, especially considering the circumstances.

Patriots: 20:34, 49 plays, 351 yards, 0 turnovers, 31 points
Falcons: 6:55, 16 plays, 44 yards, 1 turnover, 0 points

Incredible.

The last 27 minutes of this game was even more lopsided:

Oh, and it was a championship game, too.

So, I never actually watched an XFL game. I always thought "the scramble" was 11 on 11 and a live ball. Each team started at their own goal line (or the 20, whatever) and the ref blew the whistle. I thought you could pick it and advance the ball.

I always thought it was crazy. I guess the actual scramble wasn't quite as crazy.

Watch the 30 For 30 on the XFL that came out about a month ago. Worth it in total, but it does show the scramble play
