[Pick6]

I would also add that home field advantage being randomly assigned for two evenly seeded teams is BS. I'm not going to wine about the officiating, but I could. But even of more influence was the field and weather conditions. I believe that the conservative play calling was a consequence of a perception that the passing game would be ineffective when facing the north end of the field. Short passes were necessary to keep the safeties off the LOS and this did not happen, especially on short yardage plays.
