Let’s get real, last night’s game was INCREDIBLE. Not only was it a game that kept you at the edge of the couch on the last quarter. Admittedly in the beginning, if you were rooting for the same team as mine, the New England Patriots, it was a bit disappointing. The New England Patriots are characterized by their teamwork,and their ability to surpass even the toughest of obstacles. All stats and predictions were on the Patriots for the win.
The season started a little harsh for the Patriots. With a four-game suspension of Tom Brady, the team quarterback, and a hefty fine of $1 million for the team, you can say it was a bit of a rocky beginning of the season. But even amidst of that, they came out of it and went to the Super Bowl, the biggest scenario of the NFL for any team.

The first half of the game started well for the Atlanta Falcons, with a leading score of 21 points to 3 points of the Patriots. After the incredible halftime show and by the end of the third quarter, the score was still in favor of the ATL Falcons with 28 points to 9 of the Patriots.
On the fourth quarter, the Patriots went all in. With only five minutes left of the quarter, they tied the score to 28 on 28, making it the biggest comeback in NFL history. With the tied in the last seconds of the game, the game had to go to overtime, in which the first team to score a touchdown was the one to win the game. In this one, the coin was tossed and Patriots got the receiving. Two minutes into the overtime and the Patriots won the NFL Super Bowl LI. Making Tom Brady the Super Bowl LI MVP. The game broke many records, one of them, being the first Super Bowl that goes into overtime.
