Since going to the 16-game schedule, the NFL has played more than 20,000 games. That one-half of one percent leads one to expect over 100 of those games with such an improbable outcome.

Only 50 previous Super Bowls, though. Also note that lots of those games are either games between division winners vs. division patsies, and others are end of year play out the string kind of games.

The Falcons had the talent to go toe to toe with the Patriots, buit the defense collectively fell apart in the fourth quarter. Quinn may have gone into a run the clock out prevent in the late third, DON'T TRY THAT against Belichik. RUN UP THE SCORE if you can.

What I think I heard: In the 80 year history of the NFL only 4 teams have come back from a greater deficit to win than the Patriots.
