For the first time, a Super Bowl needed overtime, and for the fifth time, the New England Patriots are Super Bowl champions.
This time, it took the biggest comeback in Super Bowl history to do it, defeating the Atlanta Falcons 34-28 at NRG Stadium in Houston in Super Bowl LI.
Atlanta had a 28-3 lead midway through the third quarter. But a costly Atlanta fumble by quarterback Matt Ryan with 8:31 left in the fourth quarter helped set up the Patriots to come all the way back.
It was the first time the Falcons had turned the ball over in this postseason.
The revenge tour is complete, and quarterback Tom Brady, named the game's MVP, stands alone.
All five of those titles have come with Brady and head coach Bill Belichick, but this one had some slightly different circumstances. Brady missed the first four games of the regular season, serving his Deflategate suspension that was imposed by NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell....

Gotta give the Patriots their due. To pull that kind of miracle off you have to have faith. They failed at their last stich hail Mary onside kick and still didn’t give up and pulled it off. Legendary game.
Right on, Triple E, why would anyone trash one of the greatest QBs of all time who was a 100% class act?
Roger Goodell was soundly booed, from the second he held the mic, to the second he released it.
I'm normally not into booing, but this anti-National Anthem, anti-American (?), and anti New England Patriot so-and-so deserved the scorn.
Are you nuts! He’s not gonna retire. He’s gonna win 2 more.
Bingo!
And then that Rhodes Scholar ran it out of the endzone when time and field goal yardage was ultra-precious
“Odds are Brady retires.”

In one of the pre-game shows, Tom Brady was asked if he was going to retire, and he shouted, “HELL NO!”
Note to Dan Quinn: when you get to the Super Bowl you can’t let up and start coasting - especially against an opponent like Brady.
Quinn related to Robbie Mook?
If that would have been a movie I would have said it was fake
I AGREE. BAD SCRIPT.
What a come back. Just dang.
.
Montana and Brady are solid friends you idiot!
Brady has worshiped Montana most of his life.
Now go away Hillary.
.
drudge title says “Comeback of the century”.
with 80+ more years to go, I think thats a bit ridiculous of drudge.
Goodell presented the trophy to the owner! They were booing Goodell!!!
???????
He sure did and I went with the Patriots because of it and I am from Atlanta and was pulling for the falcons until the dumb bastard said that. Libs just dont know when to keep their mouth shut.Ryan was really good tonight but Brady was better.
They stopped when Ryan had to change helmets.
.
You have the cognition of a dead earthworm.
I told my son they would win back in the first quarter because Trump said they would win and the Falcons owner made some negative remarks about Trump. Trump prophecy!
“...And the libs heads keep exploding.”
My thoughts exactly.
Winning!
I do not care who won, but as you put it, so be it!
Yes. I knew who they were booing but didn’t know why until a previous poster just posted the reason.
Thanks.
