TOM BRADY THREW for four touchdowns and Malcolm Butler intercepted Russell Wilson’s pass in the end zone with 20 seconds left, helping the New England Patriots hold on to beat the Seattle Seahawks 28-24 Sunday night for their fourth Super Bowl title.
The Patriots had lost three straight Super Bowls since winning three in four years a decade ago.
The 37-year-old Brady led them back, hitting Julian Edelman with 2:02 left for his 12th career Super Bowl touchdown pass, breaking Joe Montana’s record.
The Seahawks pulled off a miraculous rally to beat Green Bay in the NFC Championship game and were in position for another improbable victory when Jermaine Kearse made a juggling, 33-yard catch while on his back.
With the ball on New England’s 1, Seattle appeared to be headed toward a second straight Super Bowl title. Butler spoiled the Seahawks’ bid, stepping in front of Ricardo Lockette for the interception.

World champions !!!! Does that mean Kilkenny and Kerry can claim to be World Champions too?
We could have an international rules series. Football vs Football. Hurling vs Baseball.
What about yanks vs rubby lads? Two sets of overpaid overprotected ponces knocking lumps out of each other whilst egg chasing. Ratings winner methinks.
They had to run that play, idiots
From the replays you could even see marshawn running into open space…the mind boggles
Regardless of whether the Seahawks should have ran ran or not,there is no doubting now that Brady is the greatest of all time. 4 TD passes and another MVP. In Tom we trust!!!
Still up for debate. Took Brady 6 attempts to do what joe Montana did in 4. Brady could still win more though…
Brady played it safe for the most part with short sideways passes. He threw very few risky balls and was caught with two interceptions. That is his style though and aside from the third quarter he seemed in control throughout. I thought Edelman deserved the MVP though.
The decision to pass the ball will go down as one of the greatest mistakes in US sports history, even if the ball wasnt caught the clock would have stopped exactly what the Patriots needed !! Lynch the best running back of his generation against a tired Pats defence from 1 yard – unreal ….
They lost 2 after winning 3 not 3.
Best running back in the league who is unstoppable from that position with 3 downs and they throw it unbelievable
They lost 2 straight, not 3.
The greatest game on the planet. We’re all Americans today. Patriots, Kerry and Kilkenny all respective world champions.
What made this victory for the Patriots more impressive for me was that their running game was comparatively awful, they as good as completely avoided throwing deep into Sherman’s area and almost entirely based their attack-game on short to medium passes, so hat’s off to Brady and Edelman (who should have got MVP IMO).
