But there is a reason why Atlanta squandered a perfect opportunity to seal the game in the second half. Sanu placed some of the blame on the halftime show.

Players are used to 15-minute breaks in between each half during the regular and postseason. But the Super Bowl’s halftime lasted almost an hour.

"It definitely (affected us) because usually halftime is only like 15 minutes so when you're not on the field for an hour, it's like going to work out, having a great workout, sitting on the couch for an hour and then trying to work out again," Sanu said.

A lot of factors played into Atlanta’s loss. The Falcons’ decision not to run the ball in the second half and Ryan’s back-breaking fumble are what led to Tom Brady hoisting his fifth Lombardi Trophy. Sanu decided to blame everything else except the one obvious factor: playcalling.
