Super Bowl LI Review

Well…I think we can all agree that that was one of the craziest games of all time. I’m still trying to process everything that went down but I don’t think this one is going to sink in for a while. I also think that after a second half comeback as big as that, Tom Brady is the undisputed greatest quarterback to ever play the game. His biggest comeback previous to the Super Bowl was 24 points, and last night he passed it. Of course that is not the only thing he passed last night, he is now the winningest QB in NFL history (in regard to Super Bowls), he has won 4 Super Bowl MVP’s and is now tied for the most rings of any player ever.

Although the Patriots came out on top, I do have to give credit to the Atlanta Falcons. This is a team that is going to be right in the mix at the end of every season for the foreseeable future. Matt Ryan is a beyond special player who, if he keeps the numbers he has, is looking at a hall of fame career. Dan Quinn has a young team that definitely has a bright future.

Being a young team is quite possibly what did the Falcons in towards the end of this game. Being up by 25 points, many teams would probably sit back on a lead like that. But I think that is what separates good from great. The Patriots knew this game wasn’t over at 28-3 in the third quarter, they knew that they had a while to go before time expired. If we have learned one thing about the Pats over the past fifteen years it is that you never count them out. Now I understand that, because last night in the third quarter, I thought to myself “Oh well…they’ll lose this game, they’ll be back next year”. Well not only did they prove me wrong and win the game, they will certainly be back next year!!! #PatsNation
