Tom Brady cements his status as the all-time greatest quarterback

“He just willed us to another victory”, said White, who scored three touchdowns.

Tom Brady (Michigan) had a night for the ages, while James White (Wisconsin) had the performance of his career to help New England erase a 25-point deficit en route to claiming a 34-28 overtime win.

“It’s kind of madness after the game so I didn’t get much quality time with her but we’ll get it this week”, he said. “I don’t know how he caught it”. “I wish I could have done a better job of trying to get rid of that ball”. Patriots offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels stuck true to scheme that has now led to five adding five Vince Lombardi Trophies to the team’s collection in the franchise’s nine Super Bowl trips.

In 12 seasons in his first of two stints as Redskins coach, he won three Super Bowls and four NFC titles.

Ryan swore he didn’t think the Falcons were too aggressive. “There’s nothing really you can say”.

The Falcons’ injury concerns appear to be easing as the title game approaches. For 51 ½ minutes, it was right.

The Falcons looked headed for a romp, turning the Patriots over twice in the first half on the way to a 21-3 lead at intermission.

Shanahan, the next 49ers head coach, defended his play-calling.

Atlanta did run the ball on first down, when Devonta Freeman was felled for a one-yard loss.

“We went through issues and problems early in the year”, Freeney said. “We felt like throwing the ball in that situation was good for us”. We’ll post a few of our favorites below as the night goes on.

Patriots linebacker Donta’ Hightower punished Atlanta for the call. Every second that they waste is a second that the Patriots don’t have to advance.

New England was able to rally though with another touchdown a little over halfway into the final quarter. Fitzgerald likes the Falcons a lot – just not as much as New England.

The force was so great, White’s helmet came off in the clash which ended in a 32-14 win for the Raiders in 1977 at Superbowl XI.

– The Falcons are only 4-4 this season when WR Julio Jones exceeds 100 receiving yards.

That made it a 52-yard field goal, certainly still doable for Matt Bryant, and it looked like the Falcons would get some of that yardage back on third down with a nine-yard strike to Mohamed Sanu. Instead, the Falcons collapsed.

Thirteen years after he took the Patriots to a championship on the same field, he became the only quarterback to win five Super Bowls. They struggled to run, and they struggled to keep the Falcons away from Brady, and only a succession of Atlanta holding penalties kept the drive alive.

What happened next seemed inevitable.

Falcons defensive end Dwight Freeney has played 15 National Football League seasons and faced Brady three previous times in the AFC playoffs.

“When they got hot, it was hard for us to deal with”.

“We knew we had to come out in the second half and play, no matter what”, Amendola said.
