So it has been a week since Super Bowl LI and I'm still in utter shock. As I said in the last article about the Super Bowl, it was a great game. Honestly, I thought the Patriots were going to lose because the momentum did not go their way in the first half. As for the second, a completely different story. The Patriots were down three scores, 19 points to be exact, going into the fourth quarter and Tom Brady just became Tom Brady. Not to mention that the game went to overtime which is a first in the Super Bowl.

He threw the ball down the field to score a field goal, their second drive of the quarter came off a fumble that gave the Patriots great field position from the ATL 30, touchdown. the Falcons would punt on their drive and the Patriots would march down getting a touchdown off a run by James White and converting on a 2 point try making the score a tied game. The Falcons were up 28-9 going into the fourth quarter and they gave up three scores that tied the game. In the first half, the Falcons were giving no chance for the Patriots to score a point let alone a touchdown.

This Super Bowl game was definitely one for the ages. Julio Jones with two spectacular catches near the sidelines and then Julian Edelman with a terrific catch of his own. This game was just crazy. As for when I wrote this, I'm literally writing this a couple hours after the incredible game. Nothing can compare to the intensity of this game and the toll it had on those watching from their homes or at the game. After looking at the ESPN app in the second half and third quarter, the Falcons had a near 100% chance of winning. Until the Pats came back and tied the game and eventually won in overtime.

This game has to be one of the greatest games to have ever been played. The Super Bowl is already a big stage to play on, but the Falcons definitely gave it their all and left their hearts out there. This Falcons team will be back in this game, though. Like I said, they have seven of their eleven defensive players with less than two-year experience. So they can only get better and maybe win the Super Bowl. As for the Patriots, they'll be back in the playoffs next year. Depending on Tom Brady, they could repeat or not make it.

the future for both of these teams looks very good. The Falcons defense is still growing, and the Patriots are the Patriots so they will be in the playoffs. Matt Ryan will eventually be a winner with a ring but it will take time to develop fully and become a superstar as he, pretty much, already is a superstar.
