The greatest ever, period: Tom Brady rallies Patriots past Falcons in OT for biggest comeback in Super Bowl history

HOUSTON -- Maybe Tom Brady was already the greatest quarterback in history before Super Bowl LI, maybe he wasn't.

He most certainly is now.

After being ravaged by the Atlanta pass rush, after throwing a head-scratching pick-six that put his team in a three-score hole, a battered Brady engineered a comeback for the ages, mounting a game-tying 91-yard touchdown drive to cap the biggest comeback in Super Bowl history and force overtime for the first time in game history, before winning the thing in the extra period, stunning the Falcons, 34-28 at NRG Stadium.

The title is Brady's fifth Super Bowl win, making him the only starting quarterback in NFL history to win five Super Bowls.
