American National Football League (NFL) quarterback Tom Brady made a record-setting four touchdowns, including a 3-yarder to Julian Edelman with just two minutes remaining, to help the New England Patriots beat Seattle Seahawks on Sunday for the fourth Super Bowl title.
Brady's touchdowns helped Patriots rally from a 10-point deficit to beat Seahawks 28-24 for the fourth Super Bowl title in the Brady-Bill Belichick era, but his team had to survive a last-ditch drive by the Seahawks, who got to the one, helped by a spectacular juggling catch by Jermaine Kearse.
Then Rookie Malcolm Butler stepped in front of Ricardo Lockette to pick off Russell Wilson's pass and complete one of the wildest Super Bowl finishes. Brady leaped for joy on the Patriots sideline after Butler's interception, ABC News reported.
Brady, who won his third Super Bowl MVP award, said that it wasn't the way they drew it up, adding that it was a lot of mental toughness. He claimed that their team has had it all year, and they never doubted each other, so that's what it took.
Brady surpassed Joe Montana's mark of 11 Super Bowl touchdown passes with a 4-yarder to Danny Amendola to bring the Patriots within three points.
The Seahawks, seeking to become the first repeat NFL champion since the Patriots a decade ago, was outplayed for the first half, yet tied at 14. The Seahawks scored the only 10 points of the third period, but the NFL-leading defense couldn't slow the brilliant Brady when it counted most.
Wide receiver and punt returner Edelman said that he's Brady, adding that he is the greatest quarterback on the planet.
It didn't matter how much air was in the balls, Brady was unstoppable when the pressure was strongest.
Brady has equaled Montana with four Lombardi Trophies and three Super Bowl MVPs. He stands alone with 13 Super Bowl touchdown passes and was 37 for 50 for 328 yards against the NFL's top-ranked defense, the report added.
