The New England Patriots celebrate their win in Super Bowl LIII (AP)

So, there we have it - not a classic Super Bowl, but when they count up the Patriots' victories in years to come, there won't be an asterisk on this one.

Congrats to New England, they deserved to win, Brady and Belichick cement their place in history, and everyone else gets six or seven months to try and work out how to stop them next season.

Thanks for following the blog, my name is Andrew McGarry - it's been a pleasure to bring you the action from Super Bowl LIII.
