5 intriguing storylines heading into Super Bowl LI
- 8 years ago
Will Matt Ryan raise the Lombardi Trophy? A victory in Super Bowl LI would help transform Ryan's career mightily and perhaps elevate him into the top tier of NFL quarterbacks. Can Tom Brady get to five? The future Hall of Famer currently holds four victories in the Super Bowl and a fifth would make him stand alone. Patriots' Malcom Butler vs. Falcons' Julio Jones: If New England wants to win on Sunday, a large part of their game plan will need to be slowing down Jones and the man in charge of doing that will be the Pats' top corner, Malcom Butler. Where's Vic Beasley? Atlanta's leading sack specialist collected 15 1/2 sacks in the regular season but has come up with nada in the playoffs. Kyle Shanahan vs. Josh McDaniels: Two of the best offensive minds in the NFL go head-to-head and it will be interesting to see who calls the better game.
