Linebacker Dont'a Hightower made a break the New England Patriots sorely needed in the fourth quarter of Super Bowl LI on Sunday.
The former Alabama All-American sacked Atlanta Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan, causing a fumble that the Patriots recovered on the Atlanta 25-yard line with New England trailing 28-12.
New England turned the turnover into eight points five snaps later when Tom Brady threw a 6-yard touchdown pass to Danny Amendola with 5:56 left in the game and running back James White scored a 2-point conversion to cut the Falcons' lead to eight points.
