What a game we all witnessed on Sunday night between the New England Patriots and Atlanta Falcons. It had everything: an underdog, a dynasty, a halftime involving Lady Gaga jumping off the roof of NRG Stadium, and an epic comeback that led to the first overtime in Super Bowl history.
New England of course won the coin toss, chose to receive the kickoff in the overtime period, marched down the field and won the game. Atlanta never got to see the field in OT, leaving many fans wanting for a change to the NFL’s overtime rules.
In the NFL, a touchdown on the first possession ends the game (like we saw on Sunday).
