It’s Been Five Years Since Patriots Were Down 28-3 To Falcons In Super Bowl LI

Five years ago, the New England Patriots were down 28-3 to the Atlanta Falcons.

It looked grim for New England heading into the final quarter of Super Bowl LI. The Falcons held a 19-point lead and sent out a tweet saying “15 minutes away….”

Little did they know what was about to happen.

The Patriots put up 25 unanswered points to tie the game at 28-28 to force overtime. New England won the coin toss and received the kickoff in OT.

James White, who had been a force all game, was tossed the ball from Tom Brady on the final play, made his way through everyone and into the end zone to complete the improbable comeback.
