Extra Long Half-time

Coach Belichick tries to prepare the team for anything. His attention to detail is extraordinary. He has many people working with him. He made a great point today about the difference in the half-time on Sunday.The typical NFL game is 12 minutes, but the Super Bowl is 31. Hanging around for another 19 minutes will effect some players.

He had the team simulate that situation by having them practice and then stop for 31 minutes before resuming again. It will be like that on Sunday. Since they are playing indoors, the weather will not be a factor.

I wonder if the NFL ever gave much consideration to have the retractable roof at Lucas Oil Stadium open for the game. I'm sure it's easier to play the game with it closed.
