the only SB overtime in history - can't ask for more than that although he and the team piled up some serious records.

but Edelman caught an uncatchable pass, and White ran the ball in an elusive and wonderful way, and the Pat's defense tore their asses up when they needed to.

If Brady hadn't thrown that pick 6 in the first half, it wouldn't have been such a tough comeback. There's plenty of credit to go around, but it looked like it was gonna be a blow out and Brady did keep his cool.

Brady's ill advised first half pick 6

Huge fumble in the first half drive by Blount

Extra point off the cross bar

Immaculate reception (another one) by Edleman

Julio Jones miracle toe tap catch

Sack and strip fumble

Awfully timed penalties (holding, pass interference)

Carrying out TWO must do two point conversions

Lots of other young men on that team and I bet most are not too crazy about Trump.

That title remains either for Joe Montana or Johnny Unitas to claim, neither of them having any sort of deflategate type controversy in my mind.

It was a great game on paper, but honestly I can't even enjoy it objectively if I tried.
