The patriots were going into the super bowl with a record of 14 and 2. The first half was horrible the score was 21 to 3 and the falcons got the ball after half. So the patriots were coming back in the 3rd qt with only 3 points and the falcons had a 17 point lead. As the Falcons got the ball after half they drive down and score another touchdown. Now making the score 28 to 3. As the game goes on the patriots start to comeback and the Falcons start to get cocky. The score was 28 to 28 at the end of regulation. This is the only super bowl that went into overtime which means that whoever scored a touchdown wins. The patriots got the ball first and drove down the field gracefully, executing there plays flawlessly and ran in a 2 yard run for the win. They say it is almost as sad as the 3 to 1 lead in the World Series and the 3 to 1 lead in the NBA finals. The Patriots scored 31 unanswered points.
The 2017 supers bowl took place in Huston Texas so many records were broken that game such as tom Brady got 5 ring, first team to come back from 21 points down and tom Brady threw 164 yards that game. When I was watching the game the falcons where destroying them 17-0 and I left to go to the store. But when I came home it was towards the end of the game. It was halftime when I knew that the falcons where going to win. When I say the score at the end of the game and they were in overtime I was shocked that the patriots where the first team ever to come back from a 21 down score. James white ran in the touchdown for the winning play and tom Brady won his 5th Super bowl ring.
After watching that historical comeback that the patriots did I started to think more, and I have to say that tom Brady is the greatest of all time and after when he retires football isn’t going to be the same. In disbelief I saw tom Brady lead his team to a 25 point comeback to win super bowl 51. After being down 28-3 and the falcons already having a 99% chance to win the game tom Brady sparked his offence to score 31 unanswered points. The unsatisfied quarterback with a determined attitude brought back his team to win the super bowl and to get the Lombardi trophy, which is the fifth champion ship that tom Brady won which is tied for most champions ships in NFL history. All though I do think that Drew Brees is a better passer overall I do think tom Brady is more of a complete quarter back with the determination to do nothing but win.
Patriots Mount a Comeback for the Ages to Win a Fifth Super Bowl
Ever since the 1st and 2nd quarter of the super bowl people where second guessing if the patriots could win the game, by how bad they were playing they gave up so much points during the first 30min of the game. I been a die hard fan of the patriots since the day I first watch football. Ever since that day all they cared about is others and played with their best. Tom Brady shows determination on the field he dodge, leaps, and weaves tell the end to win it all don’t you think. In conclusion I believe this team deserves to win the championship because they have what it takes to be one.

I believe that the game was a very good game! Tom Brady was losing at first in the game and then they scored little by little by putting never ending effort into trying there best, they then had to push as hard as they can and put the last points needed to on the board to win. I believe both teams played very well and that Mr. Brady deserved to win with the amount of effort his team and himself put into that game to win his fifth super bowl.
I am A die hard cardinals fan but this years super bowl was pretty impressive, Although the team I wanted to win did not succeed its okay because this was the best super bowl game I watched I enjoyed watching the first ever overtime game in super bowl history with my family even though there were moments where things got a little intense its okay, i can recall back to super bowl 43 it broke my heart to see my team go down like but its okay because i still got to spend time with my family
When i watched the Superbowl i was really surprised that the patriots came back. I love watching the super bowl, eating and spending time with family. I think that Tom Brady is the greatest of all time.
I watched this game with my Family. After the third quarter I stopped watching And Decided to play NBA2K17. My dad called me to tell me the falcons defense was receding faster than Lebrons Hairline and that the falcons might actually lose this. After the ending I came to two conclusions. The first, Tom Brady is the Goat, and two, the Falcons lost the Super Bowl, the Patriots didn't win it.
This was such a fun game to watch. I was a Falcons fan during the Super Bowl but after watching the Patriots comeback in the second half I may be a Patriots fan. Tom Brady sure put up a fight in the second half and because of his performance, this will be a Super Bowl to remember (especially since they broke two records! 1st OT in Super Bowl history and biggest comeback).
I watched the Super Bowl last Sunday, and the team I was hoping to win, didn’t prevail. I think that there is an excessive amount of media coverage leading up to the game. I believe the Super Bowl is such a widely viewed and discussed event, because of tradition. It is fun to get together with friends and family to watch the Super Bowl. I also thought he halftime show stood out to me as memorable and unique. I enjoyed how Lady Gaga opened her show with the national anthem and patriotic songs. I don’t mind commercials that have political undertones. I think it is good to see different political views represented during such a widely viewed event.
I'm a Die-Hard Patriot fan in my late 60's. I saw Johnny U. play and until this Super Bowl, even though Brady is one of our family's heros, I was unwilling to admit that any Quarter Back was better than him. Now I am. What's with all the Comments from Arizona?
I think its fair to say the Falcon's gave the Pats all they could handle for 55 minutes of the game, too bad they couldn't finish, but make no mistake about it the TV showed the Pats were in shock the first half. This was no Jets or Bills they were playing. Great game, the way Super Bowls are supposed to be. Hope the Dirty Birds learn from this experience and take the ring next year.
Does anyone remember "The Greatest Game Ever Played" between the Giants and Colts in '58 (or was it 57). I don't remember. It was pre-Super Bowl, just a NFL championship. First "Sudden Death". I remember it as more exciting, but everything was more exciting then.
Brady now, like Johnny U. then, was awesome. No Lady Gaga, just football.
It should be remembered that there were 10 other guys on the field.

I think that this Super Bowl was a testament to just how great of a player Tom Brady is. I Believe that Tom Brady is the best quarterback that the NFL has ever seen and this game solidified that fact for me. The score at halftime was 3-21 with the Falcons in the lead. Most teams would have begun to collapse and not been able to pull through, not only did Brady pull through he exceeded expectations and led his team to victory.
Since Questions 1- 5 answered already very comprehensively here's my take on the open ended set:
Yes, I have seen some of the commercials both on-line and during other broadcasts.
The most memorable commercials were from AirBnb, Budweiser and 84 Lumber. Kia and Buick get mention.
Agree with having messages in the commercials outside of the product itself.

1. People say this is the greatest comeback in Super Bowl history because, no one thought they would comeback after halftime and win the game in OT.
2. Tom Brady is probably the greatest quarterback in NFL history, he is the only quarterback to have 5 Super Bowl rings!! I don't know the exact number of how many passes he completed but it was a lot.
3. This Super Bowl just proves that he can win without being blamed pf anything, for instance deflating the balls last year.
4. The score was a whopping 28-3 Falcons!!
5. The trophy given too the winning team of the Super Bowl.

21-3 at half
The Super Bowl game was kind of boring. So what some guy named Tom Grady won 5 NBA world series or whatever it's called. I think the half time show was ten times better than the game, Lady Gaga was amazing that was by far the best half time performance ever!! She started on top of the stadium and all of the sudden, BOOM she jumped off the roof and fireworks were going off as she fluttered to the ground. She also sang so great it was defiantly a performance to remember.
Super bowl Sunday is a time to be shared with family and friends and watch two teams compete for the ultimate title. This year it happened to be the Patriots and the Falcons going head to head for the 51st supper bowl title. It was a very misleading game in the first half the Falcons had the Patriots; the Patriots were losing 28-3 Falcons. Patriots caught up and managed to taking back their super bowl champ title. Making their fans bounce off the walls.
This years super bowl was with out a doubt the best come back in super bowl history. Both of the teams played very well , the falcons had 14 points in the in the ending of the second quarter. After halftime the patriots started to come back, I thought for sure that the falcons where going to win but they started to get tiered. This tough me that even though your team is losing do not stop trying because there is always that chance of changing it. At the end of the game I yelled, ran around and laughed. The half time show was excellent l too.
I personally think this was a great game to watch the falcons were stomping on the Patriots and then after half time they came back to tie it. They said that was the biggest comeback in history. It also was the first overtime game in the Superbowl to go into overtime. I really enjoyed watching the half time show with lady gaga. Her performance was like diamonds in the sky. they lit up in the sky with drones and spelled Pepsi and designed the american flag. I personally think this was a great game to watch.
What a win! Personally I am not a fan of either team, but I still was rooting for the Patriots. A little advise to people who don't care for either team, go for whoever you think will win and it usually will happen. What a win.
I definitely watched the entire Superbowl on Sunday, I really hoped the falcons would beat the Patriots. The media coverage was actually pretty good leading up to the game they had the musicians performing, mini games for people to play, and a lot more activities to do. The Superbowl is discussed because, these are the two greatest football teams in the NFL, people who do not really watch football, watch it because of the teams, the location, Superbowl parties, food, drinks, and alot of different stuff like that.
I thought the Falcons were gonna win because of their explosive offense and I thought the Patriots couldn't double team multiple receivers.Leading up to halftime the Falcons were winning 28-3 and I thought to myself that the Falcons have this game won,but after the Patriots started to comeback I figured if they can finish the comeback Brady and New England deserved it.I think that catch Edelman had was amazing and probably the best catch you will ever see.I also believe that Julio Jones two catches over by the sideline were pretty incredible.All in all though it was a good game that was one sided threw each half but anyway GO EAGLES!!!!!
I agree.
cool beans
Totally!
I wanted the Falcons to win the super bowl but, Tom Brady the quarterback for the Patriots he did great. The Falcons blew a 28-3 lead in the second half Tom Brady took the momentum and turn it to a 34-28 win for the Patriots. Tom Brady is literally a god for pulling his teammates through and getting another ring added to the four he already had. The team is literally God-like team to go down 28-3 and comeback to win 34-28.
The Super Bowl was amazing, it was like a huge party. The Falcons had a 3 touchdown lead, just like the Warriors in the playoffs. Tom Brady threw 43 of 62 passes, that is god like. The Patriots have won there 5th Super Bowl. The Falcons should not have gave the game away by being so cocky in the second half. The Falcons gave the game away because they where up 21-3.
I hate to say this, but this was definitely one of the greatest comebacks in Superbowl history. I can't stand Tom Brady but i have to respect him and his game, 5 rings is amazing and not an easy task to accomplish. Tom Brady will definitely retire as one of the all-time greats. Tom Brady is the Kobe Bryant of football, they each have 5 championship rings, and they both have mastered their crafts.
My opinion is that i wanted the Falcons to win the super bowl because they deserved it. When i was siting at home on my brown leather couch with my family watching the super bowl on my 72-inch flat screen tv. I was so happy when the Falcons made there first touch down of the game. In my head i was all like they got this but, then it was like 28-3. Latter on in the game the Patriots made a huge comeback which surprised me. When it was the 4th quarter the score was 28-28 i was so mad when the game went into over time. Then eventually the Patriots mad a touchdown and the crowd went wild at the super bowl.
I'm not a Falcons or a Patriots but that was a good game. The Falcons started strong using a 4 man rush and dropping 7 men into coverage this is one of Tom Brady's counter. The Falcons were doing good for the first half getting through the line , getting pressure on Tom, and sacking him for a losses. The second half was very interesting the Falcons looked like chickens with there heads cut off. I don't know how they let the Patriots come back I believe it was because the Falcons defense got tired and couldn't get pressure on Tom letting him throw all over that defense this let Tom secure the win under his belt.
Tom Brady is undoubtedly the best quarterback of all time and is a well-rounded passer. He threw 466 passing yards, had 43-62 completed passes, breaking the super bowl record for completed passes and yards thrown. The Atlanta Falcons where leading 21-3 at half time and quickly lead to a 28-3 lead in the third quarter. Once the Patriots started scoring you could tell the falcons defense was getting tired, the pass rush wasn't there, the corners couldn't block Edelman, Amendola and Hogan, which left the run game open. I believe that once Matt Ryan fumbled the ball it gave the patriots momentum which led to Julian Edelman unbelievable catch and to Dion Lewis's rushing touchdown.

18.That is how many points the Patriots were losing by at halftime. Their 18-point comeback was the biggest in Super Bowl History. Tom Brady lead this comeback by completing about 70% of his passes, not giving up when they were down, and keeping all of his teammates in the game. That is five championship rings for Brady and he might even have a couple more years in him.
This one of the best Super Bowls I have ever watched. At the start the falcons were dominating the Patriots. But the Patriots came back because Julian Edelman amazing catches and concentration, James white power throw the end-zone for the winning touchdown, And finally the great runs and throws by the best quarterback Tom Brady. This game was so suspenseful and the first game to go to overtime. This was one of the best Super Bowls.
1. The Patriots win was called the greatest comeback in Super Bowl history because they were down 28-3 and then they scored 31 unanswered points and won 34-28.
2. Tom Brady is a quarter back for the New England Patriots that throws as fast as a rocket ship also completed about 43 passes.
3. Winning the super got pay back at the 57-year-old man that gave him a 4 day suspension at the beginning of the year.
4. 28-3 falcons
5. Its a trophy that the winning Super Bowl team gets.

Tom Brady is the quarterback for the New England Patriots, some would consider him "The GOAT" which stands for 'The Greatest Of All Time" but to me i think its all luck. Brady always commits penalties in games its always an Intentional grounding because he always waits till the last minute to give the ball away and then theres no one there. but he did complete 43/62 passes in the superbowl last night. Brady is like a peacock sometimes, he brags a little too much.
Patriots were down 28-3 then scored 31 unanswered points and went into over time for the first time in 51 super bowls. Tom Brady is the New England Patriots quarterback and completed 43-62 passes and brought his team back to life after half time. His sneaky heads-up plays lead him to his 5th super bowl victory and is now considered the MVP of football. Houston, Texas Feb. 5 2017, was a night to remember, the New England Patriots made history in the 51 super bowl, and is now to be told to be the greatest team of all time.
The Super Bowl was amazing. It was like a fiesta. The Falcons blew a 3 TD lead, Just like the warriors. Tom Brady thew 43 of 62 passes. Thats god like. The patriots won there 5th super bowl. The falcons should have not been really cocky in the second half.
This was named that because it was such a great comeback by the patriots. Tom Brady made 43 passes and attempted 62 attempts. Tom Brady is this quarter back for New England. This win became vindication for Tom Brady because before this win, people said that the Patriots only won the super bowl became Tom Brady deflate during the balls, making them easier to throw. This showed that he could win either way and cleared his title. At halftime, the score was 21-3 at halftime, the Falcons were up. The Lambardi Teophy is awarded to the team at wins the Super Bowl after they win.
This has been called the best super bowl ever because of the comeback the patriots had against the Falcons. Tom Brady is a 5 time Super bowl winning quarterback who plays for the patriots. In the game last night he complete 43 out of 62 passes. The comeback Tom Brady made created this moment to be vindicative. The score at halftime was 28-3 Falcons. The lambardi trophy is the trophy presented to the winning team of the super bowl.
1.) The patriots 25 point comeback cements Tom Brady's legacy as the greatest quarterback ever, having more playoff appearances and Super Bowl wins than any other quarterback, ever. This win was so important because even after Goodell and the NFL tried to tarnish Toms legacy, he was able to rally his team and win.
2.) Tom Brady is the greatest player to ever step onto a football field.
5. The Lombardi trophy is a symbol of a Super Bowl victory, named after the great Vince Lombardi. Bill Belichick has more Super Bowl wins, and should have his own trophy.

The Pats were down by 25 points with 2 minutes left in the 3rd quarter. No one has every come back from a 11 point loss. Tom Brady is the New England Quarterback. He completed 43 out of 62 passes. The Comback that Tom made was vindicative because there was a big reward at the end. The score at halftime was 28:3 and the Pats were losing. The Lombardi trophy is the trophy given to the winning team of the Super Bowl and The Pats received the trophy.
I'm not really a Falcons or Patriots fan, but I was upset about the Falcons loss. It almost seems like the Super Bowl was rigged. There is no way that the Falcons could have lost when they had a 28-3 lead. It reminds me of when Hillary lost the election to Trump when she attempted to rig it. Aside from everything, Tom Brady is very talented with 5 Super Bowl wins under his belt.

2. He's the quarterback for the New England Patriots, he completed 43 passes.
3. Last Super Bowl, Roger Goodell had accused the patriots, specifically Tom Brady, of using slightly deflated footballs to make the passes easier. He still holds this view so it was a punch to the face when Tom Brady won fair and square, he had to also present Tom Brady the Lombardi trophy, which was very embarrassing.

Brady has consistently denied that such vindication is motivating factor, typically saying he's motivated to win for his teammates, the organization, his family and friends, New England football fans, etc. (not necessarily in that order).
