ATLANTA (AP) — For five plays Christian Wilkins Jersey , and for 2 minutes, 49 seconds, Tom Brady looked like Tom Brady and the Patriots offense looked like the one that cruised up and down the field for most of the season.Turns out, that’s all they needed.On a day that knocked two of the NFL’s highest-flying scoring machines back into the 1970s — or ’50s — Brady mustered one good drive when it mattered.He went 4-for-4, including a perfect teardrop pass nestled into the hands of Rob Gronkowski , to set up the game’s only touchdown on the way to a 13-3 victory over the Los Angeles Rams.New England won its record-tying sixth Super Bowl title. Brady became the first player to win six rings.All on the strength of one measly touchdown — in the lowest-scoring Super Bowl ever.“We could’ve played better offensively,” Brady said, “but the reality is, you get into these games and you just need to figure out a way to win it.”Make no mistake — they won it with defense. And kicking. And Julian Edelman, the diminutive receiver who found gaps in the Los Angeles zone and caught a game-high 10 passes for 141 yards. He was named Most Valuable Player.“The defense was unreal,” Edelman said. “They should be the MVP.”Brady, who has won that award four times, was fine — but nothing more — until the drive that began with 9:49 remaining, with the game tied at 3 in the first Super Bowl to go three quarters without a touchdown.He hit Gronkowski for 18 yards, found Edelman in the zone for 13. He threw a dump-off pass to Rex Burkhead for seven. Then, the best pass of the day — the 29-yard completion to Gronkowski http://www.miamidolphinsteamonline.com/michael-deiter-jersey , who was double-covered and had Rams linebacker Cory Littleton practically dragging him to the ground as he made the catch.“Tom threw it to me and I had to make a play,” Gronkowski said. “I just come through whenever it’s that time. He knows to trust in me.”Sony Michel took the handoff on the next play for a 2-yard score. Anyone who had only tuned in for that drive might have wondered what all the fuss — and all the yawning — was about.For anyone outside of linebackers, defensive coordinators and people who bet the under (56 ½ points), this was ugly.Brady and the Patriots looked nothing like the team that averaged more than 27 points a game this season,that put up 37 points against the Chiefs in the AFC title game, that didn’t allow a sack — and barely allowed Brady to be touched — in the two playoff games leading to the trip to Atlanta.Brady finished 21 for 35 for 262 yards and an interception. He got sacked once but harassed a lot more by Rams defenders. The Rams would’ve gladly said ‘yes’ if someone had told them they’d give up just 13 points to the league’s biggest big-game quarterback.On this day, though, 13 points were plenty for the Pats.But what a far cry this was from two years ago, when the Patriots scored 31 points in the second half and overtime for a 34-28 come-from-behind win over Atlanta and title No. 5. Or even last year, when they moved up and down the field with the Eagles, but lost 41-33.“We couldn’t get points on the board for one reason or another,” Brady said, “but in the end, it feels a lot better than last year, when we did get some points on the board.”In this one, Brady’s very first pass— after New England started the game with four straight runs that got them to the Rams 34 — got tipped up by receiver Chris Hogan Garrett Bradbury Jersey , who collided with Nickell Robey-Coleman, then picked off by Littleton.After that, the Patriots moved the ball, but ended up with very little to show for it. They outgained Los Angeles 195-57 in the first half but had one Stephen Gostkowski field goal — and another Gostkowski miss — for a paltry 3-0 lead.The Rams tied it late in the third quarter on a 53-yard field goal by Greg Zuerlein.Then, suddenly, Brady looked like Brady again. It didn’t last long. It was more than enough. DAVIE, Fla. (AP) — New Miami Dolphins assistant coach Jim Caldwell was discussing the team’s quarterbacks Thursday when someone noted his extensive experience in the NFL.“Are you saying … what are you saying about me?” Caldwell responded with a smile.What the Dolphins are saying is that the 64-year-old Caldwell is the right coach for the job of developing newly acquired QB Josh Rosen, who is rebooting his career after a rocky rookie 2018 season with the Arizona Cardinals.Caldwell is also starting fresh as Miami’s assistant head coach and quarterbacks coach for new head coach Brian Flores. The transition will reach a new stage next week when the Dolphins take the practice field for organized team activities.“We all have a long way to go,” Caldwell said.His primary job will be to maximize the potential of Rosen, the No. 10 overall pick in the 2018 draft, who will get a year to show the Dolphins he can be their franchise quarterback. If Rosen doesn’t, they’ll likely draft their QB of the future in the first round next spring.“Josh has got a clean slate here,” Caldwell said. “He’s in a new system with a different group of guys, and we’re looking forward.”Rosen will compete for the starting job with veteran newcomer Ryan Fitzpatrick.“They’ll get what they earn,” new offensive coordinator Chad O’Shea said. “This is a very competitive situation. We have options at the position.”But to evaluate Rosen this year, the Dolphins need for him to play. And Caldwell’s resume suggests he’ll get the most out of Rosen Noah Fant Jersey , whatever that is.Caldwell worked with Peyton Manning for nine seasons, first as the Indianapolis Colts’ assistant head coach and quarterbacks coach, and then as their head coach. He was also the Baltimore Ravens’ offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach when Joe Flacco helped them win the 2013 Super Bowl.Seventeen years in the NFL have taught Caldwell that one season is not enough time to pass judgment on a quarterback, Rosen included.“In this league you find guys who have a great year one year, and they literally disappear the next,” Caldwell said. “He’s working at it, and obviously trying to put himself in position to have a little better year than last year.”Rosen ranked 33rd in the 32-team NFL in passing rating in 2018, throwing 11 touchdown passes and 14 interceptions as the Cardinals finished last in points and yards while going 3-13.But Caldwell sees potential for a turnaround, and said the Dolphins’ tutelage of Rosen is off to a good start.“I don’t think there’s any secret he has talent,” Caldwell said. “He has physical talent, and he’s also very smart.”NOTES: The Dolphins begin a three-day rookie minicamp Friday. Three days of OTAs are scheduled next week beginning Monday. … Dolphins vice chairman Matt Higgins will be honored Saturday as a recipient of the Ellis Island medal of honor. Higgins was chosen in part for his work after 9/11 to help rebuild New York City, and for his support of autism awareness and other causes. Higgins was born in poverty in Queens, dropped out of high school and started college at 16. “Any success I can achieve gives me credibility to speak to young people who might be struggling that this chapter is not going to define your life unless you let it,” he said.
