SUPER BOWL SUNDAY

GAME NOTES
Super Bowl LI marks the year the NFL returns to roman numerals after last year’s 50th anniversary of the most watched television show on the planet.
This year, Tom Brady’s Patriots face off against Matt Ryan’s Falcons down in Houston, Texas with a 6:30pm EST kickoff on FOX.
Earlier this week on Helmets and Heels, Jordan, a lifelong Falcons fan, debated Donna, a lifelong Patriots fan, and things got pretty interesting. You can watch that debate here starting around the 46-minute mark.
But if you’re looking for the TL;DR preview for this game, just know Tom Brady’s Patriots are a field goal favorite armed with the number one ranked defense going up against the Falcons led by MVP Matt Ryan and his number one ranked offense.
Outside of the Green Bay vs. Dallas game, it’s been a less-than-stellar playoffs for the NFL after suffering double digit ratings drop earlier this season. Here’s hoping the Falcons and Pats will help us forget about those lackluster games and ratings.
