Is it bold to say that a game that we're just hours removed from is the greatest Super Bowl of all-time, despite there having been 50 other Super Bowls? Maybe, but that doesn't make it any less true. The New England Patriots' 34-28 overtime win over the Atlanta Falcons featured a 28-3 deficit, including allowing the Falcons to open the game with 21 unanswered points. The Patriots' 31 unanswered points, headlined by Tom Brady's 466 passing yards, was something that seemed unimaginable. No way could a team that's good enough to make the Super Bowl blow a 28-3 lead, right?. The Patriots' comeback was perhaps the greatest we've seen, and it has to make this the best Super Bowl ever.
