Super Bowl 2019: Quarter-by-Quarter Score and Final Stats for Patriots vs. Rams

There may not have been much offense, but there were still some impressive performances during Sunday night's Super Bowl LIII matchup between the New England Patriots and Los Angeles Rams.

Below is a look at the scoring breakdown from Sunday's game, as well as the final individual stats for both teams.

Super Bowl LIII Stats

Passing Stats

Patriots
Tom Brady: 21-of-35, 262 yards, one interception

Rams
Jared Goff: 19-of-38, 229 yards, one interception

It wasn't a banner night for either quarterback, as both offenses struggled to move the ball in a game that featured 14 punts (nine by Los Angeles), two interceptions (one by each quarterback), two missed field goals (one by each team) and one turnover on downs by the Pats.

However, Brady was the more efficient passer, and he frequently connected with wide receiver Julian Edelman to make big plays.

Brady also played a key role on the drive that led to the only touchdown of the game. The veteran completed four straight passes to open the drive, including a 29-yard strike to tight end Rob Gronkowski that put the Patriots at the Rams' 2-yard line.

That set up Sony Michel's touchdown run on the next play, which helped give New England a 10-3 lead in the fourth quarter.

Goff was not as efficient, and he was also sacked four times. He appeared to be getting into a rhythm late, as he picked up a pair of first downs with nice passes to receivers Josh Reynolds and Robert Woods. But that possession ended when Goff was intercepted by cornerback Stephon Gilmore with 4:17 to go.

Rushing Stats

Patriots
Sony Michel: 18 carries, 94 yards, one touchdown
Rex Burkhead: seven carries, 43 yards
Julian Edelman: one carry, eight yards
Cordarrelle Patterson: two carries, seven yards
James White: two carries, four yards
Tom Brady: two carries, minus-two yards

Rams
Todd Gurley: 10 carries, 35 yards
C.J. Anderson: seven carries, 22 yards
Robert Woods: one carry, five yards

Michel was one of the lone offensive bright spots in this game, as the rookie nearly reached the 100-yard mark and scored the game's only touchdown.

When the Patriots took over at their 4-yard line with 4:17 to go in the fourth quarter and a seven-point lead, they relied on Michel. On that drive, the Georgia product had seven carries for 41 yards to help run down the clock and seal the win.

Burkhead also had a 26-yard carry on that drive, which ended with a 41-yard field goal by Stephen Gostkowski that pushed the Patriots' lead to 13-3 with 1:12 to go.

The Rams relied on their two-headed attack of Gurley and Anderson to push through the playoffs and win the NFC championship. However, neither back did much against the Patriots.

Both Gurley and Anderson averaged less than four yards per carry, which is a key reason why Los Angeles' offense never got going.

Receiving Stats

Patriots
Julian Edelman: 10 receptions, 141 yards
Rob Gronkowski: six receptions, 87 yards
Rex Burkhead: two receptions, 15 yards
Cordarrelle Patterson: two receptions, 14 yards
James White: one reception, five yards

Rams
Brandin Cooks: eight receptions, 120 yards
Robert Woods: five receptions, 70 yards
Josh Reynolds: three receptions, 28 yards
C.J. Anderson: two receptions, 12 yards
Todd Gurley: one reception, minus-1 yard

Edelman was the star for New England's offense, as he captured his first Super Bowl MVP award. He is the seventh wide receiver to win the honor and the first since the Pittsburgh Steelers' Santonio Holmes in Super Bowl XLIII.

Edelman is the second Patriots wideout to win Super Bowl MVP, joining Deion Branch from Super Bowl XXXIX.

"He played the best game of the year,'' Brady said of Edelman. "He's a fighter. I'm just so proud of him. He's been an incredible player for this team.''

Gronkowski also had a solid performance for New England, as his 29-yard reception in the fourth quarter set up Michel's touchdown run.

Cooks had a strong showing against the Patriots, his former team, but it wasn't enough to help the Rams put points on the board.
