BUT! if the Rams' DB allows Lewis to make the catch and walk in for the TD, yeah the Rams would have trailed 27-20, but there would have been 1:50 left, plenty of time for the Rams to tie it up again. As it turned out, the Rams' DB's mental blunder worked out for the Rams, because the refs bailed him out with the no-call. I will watch the Super Bowl and I will root for the Pats. Which, I would have rooted for the Pats even if the Rams had won the game fairly. People like to hate the Pats, because they have committed the ultimate "foh pah," they win TOO MUCH! Americans love a winner...just don't do it too much. Then it's not fair.
