Super Bowl 2017, Patriots vs. Falcons: Follow live scores and highlights

On Sunday morning, Patriots quarterback Tom Brady owned 13 Super Bowl records.

On Sunday night, he added yet another.

There is more than one reason that Do Your Job Part 2, a film about the New England Patriots’ run to Super Bowl LI, exists. Yes, first and foremost, it is chum to feed to a ravenous Patriots fan base, that will, en masse, record this and set to “keep until delete” on their DVRs. (A film like this is basically fetish pornography to someone from Saugus, Mass. or Rye, N.H.)

But even if you aren’t a Patriots fan, there is something to gain from watching a film like this. There are lessons to be gleaned here: lessons about myth-making and the rewriting of history, as well as ones about team management and image management, and, yes, about the fine art of spewing bullshit.

It appears that the national nightmare is over, as our top law enforcement minds have found Tom Brady’s Super Bowl jersey:

Previously, the jersey Brady used to valiantly vanquish the Atlanta Falcons was lost. You can see the moment after the game when Brady realizes it’s gone:

Tom Brady was named the MVP in the Patriots’ last two Super Bowl victories. Both matchups were late-game thrillers, and Brady rallied his team in what will go down as two of the most exciting Super Bowls of all time. However, it’s one of Brady’s teammates, linebacker Dont’a Hightower, who was New England’s unsung hero in both victories.

His biggest moment in Super Bowl LI ended up sparking New England’s offensive barrage that turned a 25-point deficit into an overtime win. The Patriots were down 28-12 in the fourth quarter against the Atlanta Falcons when Hightower strip-sacked Matt Ryan with under nine minutes left. New England recovered the ball at the Falcons’ 25-yard line, and five plays later it was a one-score game.

In the first half of Super Bowl LI, Patriots receivers did Tom Brady few favors. As the two-time MVP was hamstrung by an effective Falcons pass rush, his targets made uncharacteristic drops and struggled to adjust to the normally accurate quarterback’s rushed throws.

Brady laid claim to his fourth Super Bowl MVP Award just 34 minutes of game time later, but he couldn’t have done it without a turnaround performance from six key receivers. The five-time NFL champion turned to a cache of players that included undrafted free agents, a former MAC quarterback, a refugee from the Bears, and his third most-important tailback to dismantle Dan Quinn’s vaunted defense.

New England running back James White scored the game-winning touchdown for the Patriots against the Falcons in Super Bowl LI. It was historic not just because the Pats won, but because it was the first overtime Super Bowl touchdown ever.

White called in to the Dan Patrick Show on Tuesday as he was on his way to the Patriots’ Super Bowl parade. When Patrick asked White what he did with the game-winning touchdown football, White told him, “I actually don’t know what I did with it.”

The San Francisco 49ers knew for weeks that former Atlanta Falcons offensive coordinator Kyle Shanahan would be their head coach, roughly around the time that New England Patriots offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels withdrew his name from consideration. Once the Super Bowl was the in rear-view mirror, the 49ers made his hiring official.

It truly didn’t matter what happened in the Divisional round, the NFC Championship, or even the Super Bowl. Shanahan, who was the mastermind behind the Falcons’ top-scoring offense, was ready for a promotion. The 49ers, after firing Chip Kelly at the end of the season, were ready to name their third new head coach in as many years. Nothing Shanahan could do in the postseason would help or hurt him when it came to the 49ers.

1:51 p.m. ET: Patriots players aren’t satisfied with five Lombardi Trophies. Tom Brady and his teammates led a “we want six” chant.

And Gronk came off IR to party the only way Gronk knows how:

HOUSTON — It was past 3 a.m. CT when rapper Lil Wayne flaunted at the New England Patriots victory celebration. He barked something about knowing who you are and what you have done before barreling into one of his songs. The Patriots players and fans who packed the place partied like it was 2017.

Which, of course, it was — a new year, another Patriots’ championship. The franchise’s fifth. Tom Brady’s fifth.

Update: See the best videos, pictures, and GIFs from the Patriots parade.

Congratulations to the Patriots for pulling off one of the greatest sports comebacks of all time in Super Bowl LI. Only New England could make a 25-point deficit feel so small, as Tom Brady rallied his team to beat the Atlanta Falcons, 34-28, in overtime.

The Atlanta Falcons were so, so close to pulling off a huge Super Bowl victory over Tom Brady and the New England Patriots.

Instead, they were on the wrong side of the worst loss in Super Bowl history.

At this point, the city of Boston should have parade planning down to an exact science, seeing as they’ve already thrown nine championship celebrations since 2000.

Number 10 will take place Tuesday as the New England Patriots will pile into the duck boats for another tour around town with the Lombardi Trophy.

It’s no secret many in the New England Patriots organization aren’t huge fans of Roger Goodell and how he handled the DeflateGate situation. You can certainly add Patriots defensive coordinator Matt Patricia to that list.

That is Patricia in the blue shirt. A blue shirt that sure looks like it has an image of Goodell on it with white face paint and a big red clown nose.

The biggest football game of the year draws the best officials from the regular season. First-time Super Bowl referee Carl Cheffers and his crew certainly looked the part in Houston, calling a tight game — with one near-game-changing exception.

Cheffers’ crew only blew two calls on the evening, one of which was rectified by Atlanta coach Dan Quinn’s challenge flag. That came when a side judge missed Julian Edelman stepping out of bounds during a third-quarter punt return, awarding the Patriots 7 bonus yards. A quick check of the monitors put the ball in its rightful spot, and New England would punt three plays later.

Thibaut Courtois, apart from having a cool name, had a VERY good sports weekend. Courtois, the starting goalie for Chelsea, had an exciting Saturday. He helped his team defeat their rival London team, Arsenal.

The game kicked off at 12:30 p.m. London time. Chelsea won 3-1, and to celebrate? Courtois took a flight to New York just in time for a Knicks game!

The New England Patriots defeated the Atlanta Falcons in Super Bowl LI, 34-28, at NRG Stadium in a thrilling overtime matchup. While Patriots fans will probably be celebrating the franchise’s fifth Super Bowl victory up until the 2017 season, the team itself will hold a parade.

This is an annual tradition in the NFL. Usually a few days after the big game, the Super Bowl-winning team holds a parade to celebrate the victory. The parade is scheduled for Tuesday at 11 a.m. ET, Boston mayor Marty Walsh announced:

HOUSTON — The catch that Julian Edelman made with 3:30 left in the fourth quarter of Super Bowl LI was the football equivalent of almost spilling scalding hot coffee all over your computer, and then managing to keep the mug upright at the last minute. It was like opening your car door and realizing there’s a cyclist heading your way just in time to avoid door-ing them. Robert Alford tipped Tom Brady’s pass into the air while two other Falcons defenders encroached on Edelman. The ball landed on Alford’s leg, then Edelman caught it, a paper-thin margin separating it from the ground.

That play was the stuff of heart attacks, regardless of whether you were rooting for or against the Patriots — a moment of athletic prowess and some really good or bad luck. A roar erupted from the Patriots jersey-clad fans at NRG stadium as the challenge was overruled and the play call held. They clutched each other in disbelief as their team continued to gain the momentum that would ultimately allow them to come back from a 25-point deficit and win the 51st Super Bowl.

Tom Brady is part of a lot of advertising campaigns. It’s not unusual to see him in a commercial for a wide variety of products and services. That even includes a commercial for Shields MRI that came out during the regular season and showed off his then four Super Bowl rings.

You might be thinking hat’s a fine commercial, too bad it’s already out of date now that Brady has a fifth Super Bowl ring. You would be right, oh and Brady already took care of that by filming an alternate version of the commercial that is out now.

Tom Brady’s jersey from Super Bowl 51 immediately became one of the greatest pieces of sports memorabilia. Not only did Brady win his fifth ring in it, but helped lead the greatest comeback in Super Bowl history. It should be framed in Brady’s house as a memorial to the game, but now the Patriots’ QB believes someone stole it.

Brady searched the locker room after the game looking for his jersey, but couldn’t find it. According to USA Today he appeared “flustered” during the search.

The New England Patriots completed the biggest comeback in Super Bowl history after hanging 31 straight points on the Falcons and storming back from 25 points down. Every great comeback has a story, and here’s the anatomy of how it went down.

It begins with five minutes left in the fourth quarter. Atlanta was up 28-12. At this point the Falcons had a 99.6 percent chance of winning according to win probability statistics.

The New England Patriots pulled off the greatest comeback in Super Bowl history to win the first Lombardi Trophy ever decided by an overtime game.

To achieve the 34-28 win, there was a whole lot of passing by Tom Brady and the Patriots offense to orchestrate digging out of a 28-3 hole, so it’s not surprising that Super Bowl LI was a record-setter.

The Super Bowl was a roller coaster of emotions for everyone involved. Celebrity fans of either team were no exception to the rule.

Shad Moss a.k.a Bow Wow was one of the more vocal celebrities. Moss, a Falcons fan, was super hyped during the early part of the game. Especially when the Falcons were up big.

The Boston Globe shared their front page for Super Bowl Monday right after the Patriots’ win over the Falcons on Sunday.

Pretty simple, but it gives justice to the historic game — historic because of the overtime, historic for Tom Brady.

Marshawn Lynch not getting the ball at the 1-yard line in Super Bowl XLIX was one of the more controversial plays in Super Bowl history. The Seahawks were in position to take a late lead on the Patriots, and elected to throw the ball, which was promptly picked off by Malcolm Butler.

Since then, Lynch has been outspoken, saying that he felt the NFL didn’t want him to be the “face of the nation.” They couldn’t have somebody like him being the guy.

Unfortunately, the Atlanta Falcons couldn’t win their first Super Bowl against the New England Patriots in Super Bowl LI. As of right now, there are 13 teams that have yet to hoist the Lombardi Trophy.

Here are the teams:
