Deflate gate, multiple game suspensions, season ending injuries, 25 point Superbowl deficit. Yet after the 1st overtime in Superbowl history. 34-28 Patriots win, to cap an enormous comeback vs. Atlanta. A 5th Superbowl championship & Lombardi trophy is headed to Patriot Place. Gronk was inured later in the season vs. Seattle. It didn't matter his teammates had his back. 2nd Superbowl victory in 3 years. Out of all 5 thus far, this is the most gratifying probably. Due to the deficit that New England was able to overcome. Another Superbowl MVP for Tom Brady who passed for well over 400 yards on 62 passing attempts. Commissioner Roger Goodell had to embrace (internally probably cringed at doing so) the Patriots, by handing the Lombardi trophy over to the team. He also had to hand the MVP trophy over to Brady. There's no love loss between the commissioner and the Patriots organization. Like the presidential election it's almost like New England stuck it to the establishment at still won. Now the talk will be which Patriots will and won't visit the White House at some point, since Donald Trump is in office as president. New England is already the favorite to win the Superbowl next season according to Vegas.
