OVERTIME: Patriots 34, Falcons 28
Fun fact: Tom Brady, with a Super Bowl record 466 passing yards, becomes the first quarterback to win the game five times. He's also the first four-time Super Bowl MVP, breaking another tie with his boyhood hero, Joe Montana. New England's Bill Belichick is the first head coach with five Super Sunday victories.
Fun fact: Patriots RB James White caught 14 passes (for 110 yards), a Super Bowl record that broke Denver Broncos WR Demaryius Thomas' three-year-old mark (13). White also established a new mark for Super Bowl catches by a running back, breaking former Patriot Shane Vereen's record from two years ago (11).
Not-so-fun fact: The Falcons' implosion after leading by 25 points means Atlanta is still stuck on one championship in the four major pro sports (1995 Braves) in 170 combine seasons among NFL, MLB, NBA and NHL teams.
PATRIOTS' 13TH DRIVE (TOUCHDOWN): Taking advantage of what looked like an expended Atlanta defense, Tom Brady marched New England down the field on the opening possession of the Super Bowl's first-ever overtime, completing five of six passes for 50 yards and getting help with a pass interference flag against TE Martellus Bennett near the Atlanta goal line. James White capped the comeback with a 2-yard TD run to give New England its fifth Lombardi Trophy.
END OF FOURTH QUARTER: Falcons 28, Patriots 28
PATRIOTS' 12TH DRIVE (end of regulation): Dion Lewis rolled his ankle on a fake that picked up 13 yards as the clock expired.
FALCONS' 10TH DRIVE (punt): Unable to muster anything, the Falcons are forced to punt as Super Bowl LI rolls into the first overtime in the history of the game
PATRIOTS' 11TH DRIVE (TOUCHDOWN): New England finally has a unbelievable Super Bowl catch to call its own with Julian Edelman's spectacular snare of a deflected Tom Brady throw just centimeters off the ground for 23 yards to the Falcons' 41-yard line. Brady followed that up with a 20-yard strike to Danny Amendola, who was streaking across the middle as the game hit the two-minute warning. Three plays later, RB James White crashed across the goal line from 1 yard away for the TD. Brady then hit Amendola for the game-tying two-point conversion.
Fun fact: Brady's 416 passing yards break Kurt Warner's 17-year-old Super Bowl record (414).
FALCONS' NINTH DRIVE (punt): Matt Ryan's dumpoff to Devonta Freeman to start the drive goes for 39 yards, the game's longest play from scrimmage. Two plays later, Ryan hit Julio Jones for 27 yards on the type of spectacular sideline, toe tap play the Patriots typically suffer in the Super Bowl. But a fifth sack of Ryan and a holding penalty on LT Jake Matthews knocks Atlanta out of field-goal range, potentially a critical lapse.
PATRIOTS' 10TH DRIVE (TOUCHDOWN): New England takes advantage of Atlanta's miscue — despite giving up a season-worst fifth sack of Tom Brady along the way — and pull within one score on Brady's 6-yard TD pass to Danny Amendola and a successful two-point try on one of Brady's patented "Statue of Liberty" fakes.
FALCONS' EIGHTH DRIVE (FUMBLE): Disastrous sequence for Atlanta. Matt Ryan fumbles after being sacked by LB Dont'a Hightower, and the Patriots take over at Atlanta's 25. It was the Falcons' first turnover in three playoff games. RB Tevin Coleman has also left the field with an apparent ankle injury.
