It's the Mike Francesa podcast on the BetRivers Network.

Hello again, everybody, and welcome to the Mike Francesa podcast, part of the BetRivers Network.

And we come to you on this championship Sunday night after two highly competitive, sometimes strange, with some weird decisions. But, you know but that's the way it is in the NFL

these days. There's always a couple of plays that you leave you scratch in your head. But Seattle

and New England on their way to the Super Bowl, which is better for competitiveness rather than

have sit him in the game,

having May in the game, even though May has not thrown the ball well.

He did run the ball in key spots today.

And of course, the saga of Sam Donald's Super Bowl Sam now continues

in what was a action-packed wild game, it looked like the Rams on so many occasions were going to

take control and they just couldn't take control give Seattle credit for that. I mean,

obviously the taunting penalty could have caused Seattle a trip to the Super Bowl.

I mean, that was just selfish and stupid.

But again, where the game changed was after the Rams held.

And once again, as has been the case in every ram lost this year, special teams

reared its head.

It has plagued the Rams all year.

It has cost them dearly all year.

They made a change in the coaching staff late in the season.

It didn't improve things.

And they muff a punt.

And it costs some seven points.
