New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady claimed his fifth Super Bowl championship Sunday night in a fashion beyond imagination, leading the Patriots' historic comeback from a 25-point deficit and lifting New England to a 34-28 victory in the first Super Bowl ever to reach overtime.
Having started the season on a four-game suspension levied by Commissioner Roger Goodell, Brady ended it by stamping himself the greatest quarterback of all time without any legitimate doubt, kneeling on the NRG Stadium turf, his face in the ground, before Coach Bill Belichick embraced him.
"You the [expletive] greatest," Patriots running back LeGarrette Blount told Brady, pounding his chest.
