The Patriots Win the Super Bowl in an Unprecedented Comeback
Even by the third quarter, no one saw it coming.
It was the greatest comeback of Super Bowl history, and President Donald Trump called it. No team had ever recovered from more than 10 points down, but the New England Patriots did, and they beat the Atlanta Falcons 34 to 28. The Patriots trailed nearly the entire game, and by the second half they were being written off as lost causes, but the Patriots would prove it only counts how you finish.
The game was a matchup of one of the highest-scoring teams, Atlanta, versus one that had allowed the fewest points, New England.
