New England Patriots beat Seattle Seahawks, 28-24, in Super Bowl XLIX

The New England Patriots overcame a 10-point fourth quarter deficit to beat the Seattle Seahawks, 28-24, in Super Bowl XLIX Sunday at University of Phoenix Stadium in Glendale, Arizona ,the fourth Super Bowl title and first in 10 years -- during the record-setting tenure of quarterback Tom Brady and coach Bill Belichick.

Patriots quarterback Tom Brady eclipsed the 300 yards passing mark and threw for four touchdowns, including two in the fourth quarter, to win his fourth Super Bowl title.

The Patriots added to the National Football League championships they won after the 2001, 2003 and 2004 seasons, and prevented the Seahawks from becoming the eighth franchise to defend a title. The Patriots remain the last team to win back-to-back Super Bowls.

With four Super Bowl titles, Brady ties Terry Bradshaw and childhood hero Joe Montana for the most among quarterbacks. Brady boosted his win total to 21 in the postseason, more than 21 of the other 31 current NFL teams.


Belichick ties Chuck Noll for the most Super Bowl wins by a head coach, with four. Belichick has 22 career postseason wins, extending a record he broke when he passed Tom Landry (20) this offseason.
