Before the interception I can’t forget how RW looked so confused on that play...I decided I was played by the NFL. I was convinced it was a rigged...who knows Seahawks got paid extra or more than the Patriots on that SB
Even Niner fans do that, and he's their guy now ROFL. Of course given how this season went for them they're probably all HES A FUCKIN INFILTRATOR, DAMN YOU PETE!!!!!!!!!!!!
I remember he was being cocky when they were 24-14 in the 4th. I was going "man, you better watch it, there's still a lot of game left. You're going to regret making an ass of yourself"...And I was right.
Huh? Failure? Most of that team are Superbowl Champions, and all the most popular names on the *losing* team are going to be hall of famers. Not sure that's the benchmark I'd want to measure myself against.
As a Seahawks fan, I come back to this every so often and I keep thinking: Surely they're going to run it in? Don't throw it, Russell! And my heart gets ripped apart every single time.
I can make this game as the most complete Super Bowl game of all time.... - defensive in the first half - shootout in the second half - 4th quarter 10 point comeback - UNBELIEVEABLE CATCH BY KEARSE - crazy ending
This is still my favorite Super Bowl of all time. A lot of people put the Atlanta Super Bowl as the best of all time, but this game literally has everything and both teams are so closely matched. The Pats second Super Bowl win is another amazing game. It damn near goes all defense, all offense, all defense, then all offense from quarter to quarter.
IKR, everyone forgets the Hawks actually trailed in this game twice (7-0 and 14-7), which makes the end result at least understandable (b/f game, 28-3, not so much)
@The Green Pill Mindset no. They were thrown out of FG range by the Patriots defense by the sack. Patriots bitch slapped them and yanked it out of their hands.
@The Green Pill Mindset Why do you keep making idiotic, unfounded, and completely incorrect assumptions about my mental peace? You don't even know me. You clearly have nothing better to do than sit on your ass all day and be a troll.

As a lifelong Patriots fan, I will always remember the reaction of the Seahawks fans when Butler intercepted the ball. Many TVs were destroyed in Seattle on this day.
@@wolfie71231Julian Edelman tough as nails, yes that catch was a momentum changer in that game, that catch in Atlanta, the circus catch I felt was one of the best clutch grabs I've ever seen. Kept the momentum in that comeback as well. We were spoiled rotten up here in NE. No brainier if the kept pounding Lynch ........ I'll never 4 get that moment when Malcom Butler became a household name.
Giovanni Carbajal the grass at this super bowl was spraypainted as the grass was half dead. That’s why its a brighter green than most fields. That’s also why the Pats have green paint on their jerseys
Brandon Browner was a huge unsung hero in this game. 1st he makes the move to start covering Matthews who was killing it and shuts him down. Then he sets the jam that gets Butler free so he can make the pick.
These are the tiny details that make the difference between winning and losing....that Bill Belichick always addresses. The guy is ALWAYS the smartest guy in the room. And in no other sport does the head coach/manager have as much potential impact as in football. Add an all-time great QB, and that's why you have a dynasty. It takes both, not just one.
@jaboo82681 I agree 100%, jaboo. I'm a Bengals fan. I can only DREAM of having a team this well coached and this well disciplined. Got close in 1981 and 1988. But never got to the top of the mountain. And it doesn't look like it's gonna happen any time soon. :-( But I certainly can appreciate what I'm watching in Brady & Belichick. Any fan base would KILL to have a tandem like that.
People bring up "in that situation he wasn't doing well" lmfao... Regular season stats mean nothing in that moment it's the Superbowl...tell your boys up front to push for their lives...give him a lead back and he's getting in...period... A quarterback sneak is a better damn call then a pass there.... unbelievable
@@therealmadtitan8555 situational football, a low success rate on 2 yards or less to go runs. One time out and a clock under 30. What happens if Lynch doesn't get in on 2nd down now they have 18-20 seconds and no timeouts after the stop it. There play calls are limited.
Fun fact: Dan Quinn was Seahawks defensive coordinator in this historic Super Bowl ending Dan Quinn was also the head coach of the Atlanta falcons which also had the historic Super Bowl comeback.
And then Dan Quinn passed the torch to Kyle Shanahan. He was the OC of the falcons in that super bowl and the HC of the 49ers in the super bowl 2 years ago
As a Seahawks fan, I gotta say there is some truth to that. Just like how we destroyed the 49ers...they've never been the same since that nfc championship game. We're looking pretty damn good this year though
clifton james LMFAOOO your wack ass one hit wonder team and that NFC Championship game the refs gave y’all had nothing to do with the Niners downfall if you were smart you’d know coach harbaugh got fired and lots of our good players either retired, got traded, or left 💀💀💀🤦🏽♂️😂 and we’re starting off the season 3-0 this year that’s pretty good 🤷🏽♂️
Not really deserved. The run was expected. He had come up just short the previous play. The play they went for had worked a number of times already and Butler was known to have struggled with it in practice and for the part of the game he played. Honestly the reasoning was absolutely sound.
@@jameswest9388 Came up short from 5 yards out. 2nd and goal at the half foot mark. The reasoning wasn't sound at all. you don't think Lynch would get in with 3 more tries inside the 1? Come on man.
Raymond Pryor the reasoning was absolutely sound for that play. Half foot, second down, just bash a quality RB like Lynch for as many downs as required is absolutely what’s expected by everyone. Opting for a play for one down that had worked 100% throughout the game and notoriously against personnel on the defence at the time was a perfectly sound call.
Up until that point in the NFL season there had been 108 passes thrown at the 1 yard line. 60 went for touchdowns. None were intercepted. I’ll take those odds.
I think, all things considered, this could seriously go down as the greatest game in NFL history. It had absolutely EVERYTHING you would want in a game. And to do it in the Superbowl? Best I've ever seen so far.
2nd in goal with a time out & you throw the ball... Couldn't even get that play all in Madden if you stimulated the scenario. coach belichick could have had a lobotomy and I can guarantee you he wouldn't have made that call. It's not like Marshawn Lynch wasn't eating all day... I will go to the grave believing that it was a conspiracy to keep him from being the Superbowl MVP. Just ridiculous
Like most teams on the goalline they try at least one pass, normally second down. if it was incomplete they would have two more downs to run the ball. If you run it on second down and don't get it, you then waste the timeout you have to throw on your next down or risk wasting the chance to go for it on 4th down. Basically they wanted to maximize their chance to use all 4 downs if needed.
It WAS to prevent M. Lynch from being the games MVP. Seattle wanted their star QB to be MVP, so they chose to throw it. Lynch was a beast (as usual) in this game. Had he scored the winning TD there is no chance Wilson is MVP.
@@Skibone21 No matter how many misses Michael Jordan, Reggie Miller or Steph Curry have had the whole game, they will get the damn ball on the final shot with the game on the line.
I still think it would make no difference, they were close to scoring either way with Lane there, Brady just stupidly threw it straight to him, thats how he is, he plays off at like the 1st half or so, 2nd half he starts to wake up
I'm glad people are starting to remember the overall greatness of this game and not just that final play. This was definitely one of those Super Bowls that had you on the edge of your seat the whole way through. (Personally, after that Kearse catch, I was expecting the Patriots to let them score! ^^' )
As a patriots fan this was such an intimidating game to go into at the time. Brady getting older, had lost the last 2 Super Bowls we played in, and going against arguably the best defense of the decade. Just remember being terrified of the possibility of losing 3 in a row. Took Tom’s greatness and a pinch of luck to pull this one out. Chess match until the very end-arguably the greatest game ever played in the history of the sport.
WHOAH THERE BUDDY!!! . Settle down. Did you say the greatest game ever? 😅😂 You cannot be serious, right? Seattle could have easily won that game had they given the ball to Marshawn Lynch. Thats stating the obvious but seriously. He was averaging 4.5 yards per carry that game. Even if he got stopped on that play he would have had 2 more times to try and get it in the end zone and to sit here and tell me with a straight face that the Pat's defense would prevent Lynch from gaining 1 yard 3 different times is absolutely Ludacris. Whoever made that call is a complete idiot and should not be allowed to coach or call any play for any NFL team ever again. Oh and by the way Rams vs Titans Superbowl was easily a better game than watching a team get robbed by one idiot call. Also the Patriots vs Falcons Superbowl was definetley one of the greatest Games I have watched for sure.
Exercised a few demons here, too. We'd lost to the Tyree catch in the same stadium 7 years previously. Some of us still scarred from that feared the worst after the Kearse circle catch 😂😂😂
As a Pats fan, the Seahawks as a team deserved to win that game. One bad call from one person overrode the obvious talent your team had. There is zero chance we could have stopped Marshawn Lynch multiple times with a yard to go. We won this game by fluke, just like we won the game against the Giants in the regular season in our so-called "perfect" season. That was one ugly game and we took a huge beating and all the flukes went our way. The Giants were the only team that whole season I was afraid of in the playoffs and I predicted we'd lose before the game started. Your team was the slightly better one here, one fluke didn't go your way and it sucks when that happens. May you experience a "Brady era" of your own so you can feel the good side of it.
the greatest game I ever watched the climax was unbelievable lol the Jeremy lane injury the great story of Chris Matthews Tom Bradys 10 point comeback in the 4th Quarter. The legendary Seattle should of ran it Memes. The Immaculate INT. This is the Greatest Super bowl.
miss ed him also he was under rated when on rams was tough as nails only thing got hurt alot because of it but now we got a better danny 2.0 aka coooooooop man he is the man ty for our super bowl mr cupp
i remember watching this game, as i was the only one rooting for the patriots inside my friends house, and this game had me on the edge of my seat from start to finish. one of the best super bowls i’ve ever seen. both teams battled from start to finish and they both put on a show. i swear when malcolm butler made that interception i was screaming out loud that my friends landlord had to tell us to be quiet! 😂 i was literally screaming tears of joy because those last couple of plays by the seahawks had my heart beating really fast. much respect to seahawks fans💯 #patsnationbaby🙌
I was also the only one rooting for the Patriots in the house; at my own Superbowl party too! When Kearse made that catch with a minute left I couldn't believe it; I thought it was going to be the ending of Superbowl XLII all over again and I just wouldn't have been able to handle that!
I think Super Bowl LI has almost overshadowed this game. Thinking about how insane this finish was: Patriots come back from 10 down in the 4th, take lead with two min left. Seahawks begin driving, with one of the two or three best catches in SB history by Kearse putting them in great shape. Then Butler picks it off at the goal line. We don't see interceptions on goal line jam plays in the regular season, let alone the Super Bowl! The swings in momentum are simply swift and incredible. Goes from Seahawks to Patriots to Seahawks back to Patriots in the last seven minutes. 51 was an amazing comeback, but the overall quality of the game from start to finish was better here. Tremendous.
Still amazing Pat's scored that much on that legendary defense. Sad what eventually happened with Butler and the Pats...but he will always be a legend in New England...to me anyway. One of my favorite SBs ever.
@@Scott_Dunbar_II yeah he did, we also had banged receiver guys like edelman, and few others, and were missing few defensive key guys like hightower, we didn't have stevan ridley at that time either, he was of the best guys for us the season before this super bowl season when the receiving core was lackluster
Not really. If you watched the game you would know that Julian Edelman injured our 2nd best corner at 1:20. He lead with his helmet and speared him, breaking Jeremy Lane's wrist. No flag there. They were injuring our defense all game, which is why he picked it apart in the 4th quarter. There was also a time when we were driving down the field and it was 3rd and 15 or something like that. Malcolm Butler got juked out of his shoes, and the guy was wide open over the middle. When Butler got his ankles broken, he was able to reach his arm out and trip our receiver. No flag there either, ending the drive.
@@farfetched1660 Losers always blame the refs calls for why their team lost. How about Kam Chancellor's helmet to helmet hit on Edelman over the middle and that wasn't called....stop being a butthurt crybaby
between Peyton and Brady against the Legion of Boom. Peyton folded spectacularly the previous year in the Super Bowl. And Brady ended the Legion of Boom in this Super Bowl.
They would've beaten Manning, Brady, Brees, and Rodgers on their way to back to back titles. The four best QBs of the last 25 years. Legacy ruined by the worst play call in NFL history.
8:21 This is the play that changed the game. Had Kearse caught the pass, Seattle would've been in field goal range and momentum would've stayed on their side. Butler really was a hero.
Greatest SuperBowl ever imo. We often get these games sold on the QBs, but here the stars of the show were Brady and the Patriots offense vs the Legion of Boom. Hall of famers on both sides and legendary plays. Just a classic
My favorite Super Bowl of ALL TIME!. This one had it all. High scoring on offense, good defensive play to the utterly sweet (or bitter) end. An all time defense against the GOAT. Doesn't get much better than this.
The 40s were quite a SB decade SB 40 Steelers Seahawks SB 41 Colts Bears SB 42 Giants upset Patriots SB 43 Steelers Cardinals SB 44 Saints Colts SB 45 Packers Steelers SB 46 Giants Patriots again SB 47 Ravens Niners SB 49 Seahawks Patriots I skipped 48 cause that was a supreme blowout but the rest were great games
Juan Hernandez Super Bowl 40 was horrible and super bowl 41 was alright. But 4 to 6 of the Super Bowls in this list are in the top 10 in most of people’s top 10 favorite Super Bowls
@@TheDLitch 40 and 41 were awful. 49, 51, and 52 were the three greatest Super Bowls all-time. Really ever since the 42 they've all been great except for a few.
I'm an Eagles fan but this was hands down the best super bowl I ever watched. I think when its all said and done people are going to miss Tom Brady and the Pats because they were so entertaining to watch and had the best super bowls other than the last one they were in.
Larry Chandler but why? Lynch is terrible in yard to go situations and if butler didn’t know the play it would’ve been a touchdown. I think they should’ve play actioned and make Wilson roll out to his right. He then has the option to throw to the back of the end zone or run it in.
@@ramzymanolikakis3372 wdym? if they ran the ball, time would be ticking, they have three chances to punch it in. We all know that play was to make "Wilson" the hero.
It's 2021, first super bowl I watched was Steelers-Seahawks in 05-06. Pats - Seahawks is still the wildest super bowl I ever watched. Followed closely by Patriots - Falcons in 16-17 and Patriots - Giants in 07-08
“What you are seeing is the championship window of the Seahawks closing shut as the evil empire emerges from the dead to claim their first title in 10 years... Conglaturation, Seahawks! You’ve unleashed a monster known as Pats fans” -A Random guy
Hands down my favorite Patriots game. I’m 19 now so I was too young to remember the first 3 SBs, and had to endure the two losses to the Giants. In my book, the Pats were 0-2 in SBs I had watched, and both had some miracle catch by Tyree and Manningham. So when the Kearse catch happened I had the exact same reaction as Tom, just disbelief. Then in about five minutes it all flipped. IMO, the best Super Bowl at least of this century, but it’s close with that and the PITvARI game.
Brady was used to losing super bowls by "bad luck", you can see his lack of confidence when seahawks were marching down the field, and even the kearse catch, you can see he barely reacted because he has now gotten used to losses like these, but this team is different from 2007-08 patriots and 2011-12 patriots, the guys are much trustworthy here than those teams tbh in the clutch and playoffs
I don't think the Patriots had any big plays on offense other than the deep one to Gronk at the end of the 1st half. The patience it took to beat this defense was unreal.

No flag there either, ending the drive. On top of all of this, we were injured coming into this game, and we still should have won. The pats got bailed out
Does the really matter thou? They had a time out and it was only second down. Seattle blew it, Atlanta blew it. And LA just blew themselves for 4 quarters.
Brady, Edelman, Gronk, Revis, Wilson, Lynch, Sherman, Wagner, Chancellor -- so many great competitors on both sides, all in their primes. This will go down as the greatest Super Bowl.
That drop by Kearse @8:26 hurts so much in hindsight. Obviously the pick gets all the attention because it was the most insane sequence of events. If he hauls in that perfect throw though we extend the drive and possibly go up 31-14.
Patriots have to be the most badass football team ever. Win or lose, no franchise has as many memorable big game moments. Brady himself will go down as the best to ever do it.
towards the end of the third quarter, Kearse dropped a lovely pass from Russ. If he didn't drop that, Hawks would have scored again. Big moment of the game was that drop not many talk about. Yes, I know Kearse made the spectacular catch later.
I remember this day. I was so sad seeing how the Seahawks got closer and closer to the endzone and I felt defeated. Then the INT happened and I fucking jumped off my couch and screamed and cried of joy. WILL NEVER FORGET THIS DAY! GO PATS!
This loss will haunt me forever, but hey, I can't be too mad when I was able to see my Hawks win a Super Bowl early in my lifetime. It was truly a blessing to watch this Hawks team be at the top of the NFL for two consecutive years, only to spectacularly fall short at the very end. Brady and the Patriots made the plays to win it, and losses are part of the game.
Without a doubt the best Super Bowl yet! The best defense of its generation against the GOAT. Up an down game, great defenive plays, great offenses, 4th quarter lead change, 10 point comeback and an unsung hero coming out of nowhere!
Many teams don't get to see their team win a super bowl in their lifetime. Don't feel bad that we had two decades of greatness and then it came to an end. We are still far richer than the average fan in terms of how spoiled we were to have Brady. There may never be another like him. Or the several hundred superstar players and coaches he was fortunate enough to have also worked with. A perfect storm. Hell, this wouldn't have been possible without Bledsoe being a team player and relieving Brady when Brady got injured, and doing a heck of a job. I'm still reeling from how amazing it all went. I can carry that to the grave.

No, Pete Carrol cemented himself as a dumbass for letting a pass play get called instead of a run. If you think being a "yes man" is running the plays your HC and/or OC calls than you think 99% of the league's QBs are "yes men". Everyone on Seattle overthought the situation is what happened... I bet you even Russell was thinking they were outsmarting the Pats defense by passing instead of running in such an obvious run situation. Being a "yes man" (whatever you define that as) had nothing to do with it. Calling and then poorly running the wrong play in the wrong situation is what happened. Genius.

Dan Quinn was also the head coach of the Atlanta falcons which also had the historic Super Bowl comeback.
And then Dan Quinn passed the torch to Kyle Shanahan. He was the OC of the falcons in that super bowl and the HC of the 49ers in the super bowl 2 years ago

The Legion of Boom started against Tom Brady in 2012, and ended by Tom Brady in 2014.
Lol facts
As a Seahawks fan, I gotta say there is some truth to that. Just like how we destroyed the 49ers...they've never been the same since that nfc championship game. We're looking pretty damn good this year though
They were still pretty good in 2015 tho
Yeah i guess the Legion of boom didn’t actually last very long. Few good years but where are most of those dudes now 5 short years later.
clifton james LMFAOOO your wack ass one hit wonder team and that NFC Championship game the refs gave y’all had nothing to do with the Niners downfall if you were smart you’d know coach harbaugh got fired and lots of our good players either retired, got traded, or left 💀💀💀🤦🏽♂️😂 and we’re starting off the season 3-0 this year that’s pretty good 🤷🏽♂️
Best running back in the league at the time and decided to throw on the 1 yard line🤔 they deserved that L
Wasn’t the 20th best in that situation
Not really deserved. The run was expected. He had come up just short the previous play. The play they went for had worked a number of times already and Butler was known to have struggled with it in practice and for the part of the game he played.
Honestly the reasoning was absolutely sound.
@@jameswest9388 Came up short from 5 yards out. 2nd and goal at the half foot mark. The reasoning wasn't sound at all. you don't think Lynch would get in with 3 more tries inside the 1? Come on man.
Raymond Pryor the reasoning was absolutely sound for that play. Half foot, second down, just bash a quality RB like Lynch for as many downs as required is absolutely what’s expected by everyone. Opting for a play for one down that had worked 100% throughout the game and notoriously against personnel on the defence at the time was a perfectly sound call.
Up until that point in the NFL season there had been 108 passes thrown at the 1 yard line. 60 went for touchdowns. None were intercepted.
I’ll take those odds.
Dear Pete Carroll, you promised a championship in New England in 1997, so thanks for keeping your word!
I think, all things considered, this could seriously go down as the greatest game in NFL history. It had absolutely EVERYTHING you would want in a game. And to do it in the Superbowl? Best I've ever seen so far.
I agree
For sure. Either this one, cardinals vs Steelers Super Bowl, or falcons pats 28-3 come back Super Bowl.
The Seattle Seahawks won Super Bowl 48
This game and the 2018 AFC championship will always be my favorite Pats games of the decade. Incredible efforts that could have gone either way.
2nd in goal with a time out & you throw the ball... Couldn't even get that play all in Madden if you stimulated the scenario. coach belichick could have had a lobotomy and I can guarantee you he wouldn't have made that call.
It's not like Marshawn Lynch wasn't eating all day... I will go to the grave believing that it was a conspiracy to keep him from being the Superbowl MVP. Just ridiculous
Like most teams on the goalline they try at least one pass, normally second down. if it was incomplete they would have two more downs to run the ball.
If you run it on second down and don't get it, you then waste the timeout you have to throw on your next down or risk wasting the chance to go for it on 4th down. Basically they wanted to maximize their chance to use all 4 downs if needed.
Ironic Zombie yeah you throw on 3rd down. There is absolutely no excuse for throwing on 2nd down. None
It WAS to prevent M. Lynch from being the games MVP.
Seattle wanted their star QB to be MVP, so they chose to throw it. Lynch was a beast (as usual) in this game. Had he scored the winning TD there is no chance Wilson is MVP.
Actually he wasn't eating on short yardage in the second half. It's like no one was watching the game. The call was right the execution was wrong.
@@Skibone21 No matter how many misses Michael Jordan, Reggie Miller or Steph Curry have had the whole game, they will get the damn ball on the final shot with the game on the line.
Brady throwing that INT causing the DB to break his forearm was quietly one of the most beneficial moments for the patriots during that game. #LFG
NO
A very costly interception for the Seahawks.
Yup, because they then picked on Simon for I think 2 of the 4 TD's
The Lafell and Edelman TDs
@@brianchua4240 yeah but the pats gave them one at the half. Absolutely stupid playcalling
I still think it would make no difference, they were close to scoring either way with Lane there, Brady just stupidly threw it straight to him, thats how he is, he plays off at like the 1st half or so, 2nd half he starts to wake up
I'm glad people are starting to remember the overall greatness of this game and not just that final play.
This was definitely one of those Super Bowls that had you on the edge of your seat the whole way through.
(Personally, after that Kearse catch, I was expecting the Patriots to let them score! ^^' )
As a patriots fan this was such an intimidating game to go into at the time. Brady getting older, had lost the last 2 Super Bowls we played in, and going against arguably the best defense of the decade. Just remember being terrified of the possibility of losing 3 in a row. Took Tom’s greatness and a pinch of luck to pull this one out. Chess match until the very end-arguably the greatest game ever played in the history of the sport.
WHOAH THERE BUDDY!!! . Settle down. Did you say the greatest game ever? 😅😂
You cannot be serious, right?
Seattle could have easily won that game had they given the ball to Marshawn Lynch. Thats stating the obvious but seriously.
He was averaging 4.5 yards per carry that game. Even if he got stopped on that play he would have had 2 more times to try and get it in the end zone and to sit here and tell me with a straight face that the Pat's defense would prevent Lynch from gaining 1 yard 3 different times is absolutely Ludacris. Whoever made that call is a complete idiot and should not be allowed to coach or call any play for any NFL team ever again.
Oh and by the way Rams vs Titans Superbowl was easily a better game than watching a team get robbed by one idiot call. Also the Patriots vs Falcons Superbowl was definetley one of the greatest Games I have watched for sure.
Great post.
Exercised a few demons here, too. We'd lost to the Tyree catch in the same stadium 7 years previously.
Some of us still scarred from that feared the worst after the Kearse circle catch 😂😂😂
As a Seahawks fan, it took a lot of courage watching this... I was in 3rd grade when this game happened and still remember the sadness to this day.
As a Pats fan, the Seahawks as a team deserved to win that game. One bad call from one person overrode the obvious talent your team had. There is zero chance we could have stopped Marshawn Lynch multiple times with a yard to go.
We won this game by fluke, just like we won the game against the Giants in the regular season in our so-called "perfect" season. That was one ugly game and we took a huge beating and all the flukes went our way. The Giants were the only team that whole season I was afraid of in the playoffs and I predicted we'd lose before the game started.
Your team was the slightly better one here, one fluke didn't go your way and it sucks when that happens. May you experience a "Brady era" of your own so you can feel the good side of it.
the greatest game I ever watched the climax was unbelievable lol the Jeremy lane injury the great story of Chris Matthews Tom Bradys 10 point comeback in the 4th Quarter. The legendary Seattle should of ran it Memes. The Immaculate INT. This is the Greatest Super bowl.
Chris Matthews came close to getting 100 yards in the Grey Cup too (thus the rarely seen double) but only finished with like 67

I think Super Bowl LI has almost overshadowed this game. Thinking about how insane this finish was: Patriots come back from 10 down in the 4th, take lead with two min left. Seahawks begin driving, with one of the two or three best catches in SB history by Kearse putting them in great shape. Then Butler picks it off at the goal line. We don't see interceptions on goal line jam plays in the regular season, let alone the Super Bowl! The swings in momentum are simply swift and incredible. Goes from Seahawks to Patriots to Seahawks back to Patriots in the last seven minutes. 51 was an amazing comeback, but the overall quality of the game from start to finish was better here. Tremendous.
Paul Lambert and the end of the first half was just as crazy both teams scored TDs in the final minute of the half

Brady picked that defense apart in the 4th quarter. This is the game that cemented him as the goat.
Not really. If you watched the game you would know that Julian Edelman injured our 2nd best corner at 1:20. He lead with his helmet and speared him, breaking Jeremy Lane's wrist. No flag there. They were injuring our defense all game, which is why he picked it apart in the 4th quarter. There was also a time when we were driving down the field and it was 3rd and 15 or something like that. Malcolm Butler got juked out of his shoes, and the guy was wide open over the middle. When Butler got his ankles broken, he was able to reach his arm out and trip our receiver.

Greatest SuperBowl ever imo. We often get these games sold on the QBs, but here the stars of the show were Brady and the Patriots offense vs the Legion of Boom. Hall of famers on both sides and legendary plays. Just a classic
Hightower & Browner deserve some praise High for stopping Lynch at the goal line and Browner getting room for Butler to pick it off.

Hands down my favorite Patriots game. I’m 19 now so I was too young to remember the first 3 SBs, and had to endure the two losses to the Giants. In my book, the Pats were 0-2 in SBs I had watched, and both had some miracle catch by Tyree and Manningham. So when the Kearse catch happened I had the exact same reaction as Tom, just disbelief. Then in about five minutes it all flipped. IMO, the best Super Bowl at least of this century, but it’s close with that and the PITvARI game.
Eagles vs Patriots is top 2
@@Lionheart463 Pittsburgh vs Arizona and New England vs Seattle actually had defense, so I would consider those better.

Brady was used to losing super bowls by "bad luck", you can see his lack of confidence when seahawks were marching down the field, and even the kearse catch, you can see he barely reacted because he has now gotten used to losses like these, but this team is different from 2007-08 patriots and 2011-12 patriots, the guys are much trustworthy here than those teams tbh in the clutch and playoffs
