The New England Patriots won Super Bowl LIII, 13-3, Sunday night in the lowest scoring NFL title game in the Super Bowl era.
The Patriots led 3-0 at halftime, then scored the game-winning touchdown with seven minutes remaining in the game. The Los Angeles Rams weren’t able to get their high-scoring offense on track and didn’t run a single play inside the New England 26-yard line. They had a chance to tie the game with just more than four minutes remaining when quarterback Jared Goff found Brandon Cooks at the right corner of the end zone, but Patriots defensive back Duron Harmon broke up the play.
Goff threw an interception on his next attempt, and New England marched 72 yards in nine plays to seal the win with a field goal.
The 1948 NFL championship still holds the record for the fewest points in the league’s title game. The Philadelphia Eagles defeated the Chicago Cardinals, 7-0.
