BLOOMINGTON, Minn. – James White knew what was coming. He knew where the reporter was going, a place he has been thousands of times since being the hero of last year’s Super Bowl.
The fourth-year running back from Wisconsin picked an appropriate stage to have the game of his life, capped by his 2-yard touchdown run on a pitch to end matters in the Patriots’ dramatic 34-28 overtime win over the Atlanta Falcons.
White barely crossed the goal line, but he did enough to end the game and ensure a place in Super Bowl history.
