The 51th Annual Super Bowl was a game to remember. The game broke numerous previous Super Bowl records and was the first game of its kind in many aspects. Perhaps this was to be expected. After all, the finals lineup pitted the number one highest scoring offense in the league against the number one highest scoring defense, a matchup that rarely ever occurs in the championship game.

What could not have been expected was the final outcome of the game after a unforeseen Patriots comeback in the second half. The competition between the Atlanta Falcons and the New England Patriots resulted in the largest super bowl point deficit comeback of 25 points over 2 quarters. The game was also broke the record for the first Super Bowl to go over time in NFL history and many other records as well.

Tom Brady became the QB with the most Super Bowl games played in history with 7 games and tied for the most Super Bowls won at 5.

The game also made Patriots coach Bill Belichick the most winningest coach in NFL history with 5 Super Bowl wins.

The Patriots also unsurprisingly broke the record for most offensive plays, passes, and completions by a team in a Super Bowl.
