FOXBOROUGH, Mass. – It was a marvelous story. It was such a marvelous story. It was a backup quarterback coming out of nowhere to be named the most valuable player in the Super Bowl, to get the better of his Hall of Fame-caliber counterpart. It was a head coach, in the second season with his team, outsmarting the innovative mind on the other side of the field. It was the first Super Bowl victory in the franchise’s history. It ended a long championship drought for a city with a loyal and fervid fan base. It was a memorable upset and a magical night, emotional and sentimental and full of joy and wonder.
