Game Story
The New England Patriots beat the Seattle Seahawks 28-24 in Super Bowl XLIX at University of Phoenix Stadium in a finish that instantly entered NFL lore. Tom Brady threw four touchdown passes and rallied New England from a 10-point second-half deficit, but the game still hinged on the Seahawks' final possession after Jermaine Kearse made a juggling catch to set Seattle up at the 1-yard line. Instead of handing the ball to Marshawn Lynch, Seattle threw on second down, and Malcolm Butler jumped the route to intercept Russell Wilson at the goal line with 20 seconds left. Brady was named MVP after New England's comeback delivered the Patriots' fourth title.
