In the biggest comeback in Super Bowl history, a former Wisconsin Badgers running back shined brightly inside NRG Stadium.
Former UW standout James White broke a receiving record and scored three touchdowns—including the game-winner in overtime—in the Patriots’ 34-28 victory over the Atlanta Falcons in Super Bowl LI on Sunday night.
White broke the Super Bowl record for receptions with 14 for 110 yards and a touchdown while rushing for 29 yards on six carries and two scores.
The Fort Lauderdale native scored the AFC champions’ first touchdown, a five-yard catch, with 2:06 left in the third quarter.
