Super Bowl LIII: 10 defining numbers from the Patriots' win

Super Bowl LIII wasn't filled with points, but numbers still told the story of the New England Patriots' 13-3 victory over the Los Angeles Rams in Atlanta.

Here are 10 defining figures from the championship game.

2.44

Patriots quarterback Tom Brady only held the ball for 2.44 seconds per pass play, according to Next Gen Stats, helping to neutralize the Rams' vaunted pass rush. New England limited Rams interior lineman Aaron Donald, the Defensive Player of the Year, to just one quarterback pressure, and the Patriots' offensive line conceded only one sack.

3

Three was an ominous number in Super Bowl LIII. The Rams went a woeful 3-for-13 on third-down conversion attempts. The Patriots didn't fare much better, going 3-of-12 on the signature down.

6

Brady earned his sixth Lombardi Trophy, breaking a tie with Hall of Fame defensive end Charles Haley for the most won by any player. The Patriots also tied the Pittsburgh Steelers' record with their sixth Super Bowl title in franchise history.

8

The Rams became the first team in Super Bowl history to punt on the first eight possessions to begin a game. Johnny Hekker booted his eighth punt a Super Bowl record 65 yards.

10

The Patriots' previous five championships were all decided by one possession. They notched a 10-point win over the Rams, their largest margin of victory in a Super Bowl.

16

The Patriots and Rams combined for just 16 points, resulting in the lowest-scoring Super Bowl. The two squads combined for six points over the first three quarters, which was also an all-time low for the Super Bowl.

29

Both teams struggled to move the ball downfield, and the longest play of the game only gained 29 yards. It came on a pass from Brady to tight end Rob Gronkowski, who set up the Patriots' go-ahead touchdown in the fourth quarter with the catch.

50

The Patriots blitzed Rams quarterback Jared Goff on 50 percent of his drop-backs. Goff, who struggles against blitzes, saw 14 pressures from the Patriots, the second-most pressures he's faced all season. He looked rattled all game while completing 50 percent of his throws for 229 yards and an interception.

107

Brady (41) and Bill Belichick (66) became the oldest quarterback-head coach duo to win the Super Bowl. Combined, the two have 107 years of life experience under their belts.

141

Patriots receiver Julian Edelman, who missed last season while recovering from a torn ACL, capped his comeback campaign with a 141-yard performance in the championship. He was named Super Bowl MVP, becoming the seventh wideout to capture the award and the first since the Steelers' Santonio Holmes a decade ago.
