Closing Thoughts

Danny Amendola earned his second ring by holding true to his statement. Also, he went off but did so in the clutch when the Patriots needed everyones help the most.

He had a diving touchdown catch and screen for a 2-point conversion. On the other hand Chris Long forced penalties on the Falcons in crucial minutes of the game when they needed to stop Atlanta from scoring.

This helped New England as Long was able to use not only his speed but his veteran experience to attack the quarterback.

The penalties called on the Falcons were because Long was being held and that led to the New England Patriots as Super Bowl LI champions in overtime.

In conclusion, these two former Rams helped the Patriots win Super Bowl LI and could be on their way to more.
