Greatest Comeback in Super Bowl
Patriots catch
up to win in
overtime
(AP) — Tom Brady led one of
the greatest comebacks in sports
history highlighted by an unbe-
lievable Julian Edelman catch that
helped lift New England from a
25-point hole against the Atlanta
Falcons to the Patriots’ fifth Su-
per Bowl victory, the first ever in
overtime.
The Patriots scored 19 points
in the final quarter, including a
pair of 2-point conversions, then
marched relentlessly to James
White’s 2-yard touchdown run in
overtime to beat the Atlanta Fal-
cons 34-28 Sunday night in Hous-
ton.
Brady, the first quarterback
with five Super Bowl rings, guided
the Patriots (17-2) through a tiring
Atlanta defense for fourth-quar-
ter touchdowns on a 6-yard pass
to Danny Amendola and a 1-yard
run by White, which came with 57
seconds remaining in regulation.
White ran for the first 2-pointer
and Amendola did the deed with a
reception on the second.
Brady, winning Super Bowl
MVP for a record fourth-time,
finished 43 for 62, the most at-
tempts in Super Bowl history, for
466 yards, also a record, and two
touchdowns.
Before the stunning rally —
New England already held the
biggest comeback in the final
period when it turned around a
10-point deficit to beat Seattle two
years ago — the Falcons (13-6)
appeared poised to take their first
NFL championship in 51 seasons.
Having never been in such a pres-
surized environment, their pre-
viously staunch pass rush disap-
peared, they stumbled on offense
and Brady tore them apart.
“Deflategate” far behind them,
Brady and coach Bill Belichick
won their 25th postseason game,
by far a record. The Falcons add-
ed to Atlanta’s long history of pro
sports frustration.
Belichick became the first
coach with five Super Bowl
crowns.
The Patriots won the coin toss
for overtime and it was no con-
test. Brady completed six passes
against an overmatched Falcons
secondary. A pass interference call
took the ball to the 2, and White
scooted to his right and barely
over the goal line.
His teammates streamed off the
sideline to engulf White as confet-
ti streamed down from the NRG
Stadium rafters.
It was almost an impossible
dream for the Patriots a bit earlier.
But helped by Matt Ryan’s fumble
on a sack, a Edelman’s catch off of
a defender’s shoe, and Brady’s pass-
ing, they never stopped coming.
White scored three touchdowns
and had 14 receptions for 110
yards, but Brady hit seven differ-
ent receivers.
Three-Point Contest All Star
For the second straight year,
the NBA has named Portland Trail
Blazers guard CJ McCollum a
contestant to its annual All Star
Three-Point Contest. McCollum,
25, enters the 2017 competition
on Saturday, Feb. 18.
In 50 games played this season,
McCollum ranks 14th in the NBA
with a career-best 23.4 points per
game on 48.4 percent shooting.
His 42.3 percent three-point field
goal percentage (127-for-300)
ranks 10th in the NBA and also
marks a career best. He has im- C J McCollum
proved his field goal and three-
point shooting percentages each
season.
McCollum is the eighth Trail
Blazer in franchise history to
compete in the Three-Point
Contest and second to compete
twice, joining Kiki Vandeweghe
(1987), Danny Ainge (1991),
Clyde Drexler (1991), Terry Por-
ter (1991, 1993), Cliff Robinson
(1996), Damian Lillard (2014)
and Wesley Matthews (2015). No
Portland player has ever won the
event.
