Pats' Brady named Super Bowl MVP after record comeback

The New England Patriots came back from a 25-point deficit to beat the Atlanta Falcons in Super Bowl LI, and the soccer world was transfixed as Tom Brady once again worked his magic to help his team to a NFL title. New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady was named the Most Valuable Player of the Super Bowl. Brady, a five-times Super Bowl winner and four-times MVP of the championship game, completed 43 of 62 passes for 466 yards, two touchdowns and one interception in the 34-28 overtime victory, the first Super Bowl decided in extra time. The 39-year-old Brady set Super Bowl records for completions and yards gained passing as he directed the Patriots on a monumental comeback from a 28-3 third-quarter hole -- the largest deficit ever overcome in a Super Bowl. "We all brought each other back. We never felt out of it. It was a tough battle," Brady said on the field after James White plunged past the goal line for the winning touchdown. "They (Atlanta) have a great team, I give them a lot of credit. We just made a few more plays than them." Asked whether his fifth Super Bowl title was the best, Brady replied: "They're all great. This team resembled a lot of teams from the past that had a lot of mental toughness, great defense. Everyone rose to the occasion in the second half and overtime." Sports World Reactions:
