Todd Gurley refuses to blame knee for poor Super Bowl
Los Angeles Rams running back Todd Gurley was largely anonymous during the team’s 13-3 Super Bowl LIII loss to the New England Patriots, and many speculated that his knee was a reason why.
Gurley wasn’t really a factor at any point in the game, getting just 10 carries for a total of 35 yards. After the game, though, he refused to blame his knee, saying he was “fine.”
Gurley “I know there’s been a lot of concern about my knee and stuff but I really am fine.”

Many likely won’t believe Gurley, but he’s certainly refusing to use his knee as an excuse for back-to-back poor showings. We may yet hear more about this in the days to come, but whatever the case, it’s an odd coincidence that he was a non-factor in both the NFC Championship and the Super Bowl.
