At Glendale, Arizona:
The New England Patriots overcame a ten-point fourth-quarter deficit on Sunday and defeated the defending champions Seattle Seahawks 28-24 to win Super Bowl XLIX and their first National Football League championship in ten years. Quarterback Tom Brady, who was named game Most Valuable Player, completed 37 of 50 passes for 328 yards and three touchdowns (raising his career total to 12, a new all-time Super Bowl record), including the game-winning three-yarder to Julian Edelman with 4:50 remaining in regulation time. But it was undrafted rookie defensive back Malcolm Bulter, with 20 seconds left, stepped in front of intended receiver Ricardo Lockett and intercepted Russell Wilson's pass to seal the Patriots' fourth Super Bowl triumph. Both Tom Terrific and New England head coach Bill Belichick have now won four Super Bowls each, the former equaling the record shared by Terry Bradshaw and Joe Montana, while the latter now joins Chuck Noll as the only four-time Super Bowl-winning head coaches.
