not only won his record fifth ring and fourth Super Bowl MVP award Sunday in Houston, but also shattered multiple Super Bowl passing records (466 yards, 62 pass attempts, 43 completions) as he and the Patriots took the game to the first overtime in Super Bowl history and completed the greatest comeback in Super Bowl history. The final score: Patriots 34, Falcons 28.
New England’s tale of two halves and the Falcons’ collapse relicited many reactions of players, coaches and others on social media, including the Broncos:

2 plays cost Falcons dearly. Sack fumble on 25 yd line and Ryan taking a sack with about 4 mins left. Fg and you win.

if anything, Brady & White should've had Co-MVP … I don't think the Patriots win this game without either one of these players! great game
