The New England Patriots, a perennial powerhouse, will soon take on the Atlanta Falcons in Houston, Texas. New England, led by Tom Brady and Bill Belichick, have won four Super Bowls. For the Falcons it will be just their second Super Bowl appearance, ever.
In the days leading up to Super Bowl 51, I couldn’t help but draw some comparisons to the finale of the college football season. Nick Saban and the Crimson Tide were playing for yet another championship. Their opponent, the Deshaun Watson led Clemson Tigers, were looking for their second championship.
