What. A. Game.
I don't even have to say the name of the game in order for you to know what game I am talking about (you probably know from the title of this article, though). This one was excruciatingly painful for both sides, just at different times. The start of the Super Bowl was surprising yet unsurprising at both teams went back and forth with the ball but the whole game changed after halftime. Here are some of the emotions that all Patriots went through on our way to the Super Bowl.
1. When we crushed the Steelers in the AFC Championship game.
No one can deny that we were pumped after the game that was supposed to be so close was actually a blowout. We were ready for "One More".
2. Pre-Super Bowl dancing.
It's not like we thought it wasn't gonna be a good game, we knew the Falcons were good. We knew (well maybe just me) that we had to dance the nerves off and get ready for the game.
3. The start of the game.
Okay, it was nerve wracking. When the ball just kept going back and forth with no one scoring, I thought I was gonna die from all the stress. It was terrible.
4. When the Falcons scored a touchdown.
It felt frustrating to see Falcons score first when we wanted to score. I just felt we needed to get on the board.
5. Then scored again.
Not gonna lie, I freaked when I saw the score 21-0. But anything can happen in a championship game, after all, the Warriors blew a 3-1 lead in the NBA Finals right?
6. Half time.
We forgot our woes for a little bit in order to jam out to Lady Gaga. Can you blame us? Also, Lady Gaga is officially our good luck charm. I'm convinced Tom Brady and the whole Patriots team heard her play and were inspired.
7. The entire third quarter
We were all on the edge of our seats during the whole quarter. When we got the touchdown, we freaked. We were on our way.
8. The Catch
I could not tell you exactly what Patriots fans felt when we saw that catch by Julian Edelman. For some, it was joy and other pleasant disbelief. Some cried I'm sure of it. Julian Edelman is a god.
9. Falcons 28 Patriots 20
WE GOT OURSELVES A BALL GAME LADIES AND GENTS.
10. OVERTIME
I could not tell you the sound that came out of my mouth when I saw we were going into OT for the first time in Super Bowl history. The Power of Patriots and Tom Brady.
11. PATRIOTS WIN THE SUPER BOWL
I freaked. I won't lie. I made sure to run back to my own room to make my two non-Pats/football friends knew who came back from a 25 point deficit. I love my boys.
12. When you realize that the GOAT (Tom Brady) will have his well deserved 5th ring.
What a great way to cap off the revenge tour. This game has ended the debate on whether or not Tom is the GOAT. Not only is he the GOAT for getting his fifth Super Bowl ring but he helped bring his team back from a 25 point deficit. That's one hell of a quarterback.
13. Thanking God for allowing your Patriots to win
Also, we were ready for the parade and Gronk to be his usual self.
14. When Tom Brady haters come into your life.
Nobody has time for these haters.
15. When people start saying stuff like "They cheated!" and "I hope they get crushed next year!"
See above. But only make those all the fingers.
