Sports: Pats win Super Bowl; Pistons play Tonight

Tom Brady's won his record 5^th Super Bowl and MVP honors after leading a comeback from a record 25-point deficit. The final was 34-28 as New England beat Atlanta in the first Super Bowl that went to overtime. Atlanta appeared to be on the way to its first Super Bowl win after Matt Ryan threw a six-yard scoring pass to Tevin Coleman in the third quarter for a 28-3 lead. But New England scored the final 31 points of the game, with James White scored the game winner from two yards out. White had a Super Bowl record 14 receptions for 110 yards. Brady led the charge going 43 of 62 for 466 yards and two scores, setting Super Bowl records for attempts and passing yardage.

Brady also connected on a touchdown pass to Danny Amendola before a White touchdown run with 57 seconds left. Both were followed by two-point conversion -- one by White, one by Amendola -- that sent the game to overtime. Brady shook off five sacks to lead New England to its fifth Super Bowl title in seven attempts, all under Coach Bill Belichick. He becomes the winningest coach in Super Bowl history. Brady wins his 4^th Super Bowl MVP award. Atlanta quarterback Matt Ryan was 17 of 23 for 284 yards and two scores a day after being named the NFL MVP.

The crowd booed NFL commissioner Roger Goodell as he presented the trophy to Patriots’ owner Robert Kraft.
