than other teams. While teams like the Eagles were gassed in the 4th the Patriots were conditioned and hydrated by the 4th. Bill Belichick talked a lot about this prior to this Super Bowl saying how it's a longer game with the halftime and TV timeouts and when the body is used to the game being over with there is still 45 minutes or so left to go in the Super Bowl. I really hate watching Super Bowl because in a lot of ways it is like watching Week 1 with teams gassed unable to stop drives late in the game.
