Once again, the New England Patriots can call themselves Super Bowl champions.

On Sunday night in Atlanta, they defeated the Los Angeles Rams 13-3.

It was the lowest-scoring game in Super Bowl history. But after the game, that didn't matter to the Patriots. They were happy to celebrate the sixth title in franchise history.

WBUR's sports and society reporter Shira Springer discusses the game — and what the win meant to the Patriots.

This segment aired on February 4, 2019.
