The passing game

Super Bowl puts on one helova show. Both sides played a passing game. The quarterbacks were incredibly accurate, it seems like every pass connected, every receiver was covered, the quarterback was always protected. Each pass gained ten yards and first down. Possession of the ball was retained, the teams marched down the field and touchdown.
The passing didn't used to work so well. Used to be a running game, where fast and powerful ball carriers attempted to jam themselves and the ball right thru the defensive line. Not last night, it was all airborne work.
Halftime was spectacular as usual, the singers (the Who) kept their clothes on. The Who is one of my favorites, and were in fine voice last night. Although I did wonder why a band that old was the best pick for Superbowl halftime. Aren't there any newer bands that people like?
