Patriots win the Superbowl after huge comeback

Sunday February 5th was game day for the Atlanta Falcons and the New England Patriots. The game started very slow as no points were scored in the first quarter. But then something clicked on the Falcons team and they soon started pumping out points. The Patriots couldn't answer but moving on into the 3rd quater the Patriots started the comeback. The comeback consisted of 31 unanswered points.

Questions.

1. What did you think of the Game?

2. How do you think the Falcons gave up the game?

My thoughts.

I believe that the falcons started to lose their hope after New England reached 21 unanswered points. But looking from the Patriots perspective they were determined as they could smell the blood in the water. I believe that the Falcons would win but the Patriots are truly a 4th quarter team.

  • I've never been a full-fledged NFL fan, but I do try to watch the Superbowl each year and I did watch this year's game.  Going into the game, it seemed like the majority of America was rooting for Atlanta.  I watched the game on and off through the first half, watched the halftime show, and then turned the game off because I figured Atlanta was definitely going to win! However, when I heard that the Patriots came back late in the game, I turned it back on.  I think that Atlanta may have gotten too confident from their performance in the first half and simply didn't play as hard in the second half.  However, with this big of a comeback, I know some people have been questioning if the game was "rigged."  As far as that goes, I'm not sure! 

  • i wondered how atlanta could give away a lead that big. i dont know if it be that they got coumfertable with the lead and stopped playing. the falcons were out gunned in this game and the pats had the number one defence in the league. and in the super bowl the number one offence versus the number one defence the defence has won 5 out of six times. 

  • I only watched the first half because I got bored. The beginning was pretty boring. I'm not a super fan of football or anything, but I think the Falcons could've been thinking they were going to win the game, which is very detrimental in the world of sports.

  • I didn't watch the game, but I heard about it. I think it's kind of crazy that they came back after half time. I think it's stupid that people think they cheated though. I mean your throwing a ball and running around there's not much you can do to cheat unless the referess are in your favor and are calling the plays wrong. I think they gave it up because they got cocky. They went into half time with "Oh they have no points and we have (21? I think) there's no way we can loose" so they stopped trying so hard because they thought they would win. 

  • The game was exciting. the falcons got to cocky with demolishing the pats in the 1st half and just could not get anything going

  • I thought it was a great game. It was the best Super Bowl I've ever seen. I really don't know how the Falcons gave it up, other than when they had a chance to kick a field goal, they made some bad play calls and put themselves out of range. Also when Tom Brady got hot, they had no chance to stop him.

  • I think the game was very good at the end. In the beginning it was kinda boring and slow but the patriots did very good to come back. I think the falcons thought that they had it and then they kinda gave up. But i thought it was a very good comeback.  

  • This game was very boring in the beginning. l actually changed the channel to Netflix because I was so bored but then I heard there was a comback so I changed it back to see the end. I think they might've started too hard in the beginning and gave up too much energy. 

  • I didn't really pay attention to the game, per se, but i was crushed when the Patriots won, because i was rooting for the Falcons. I think the falcons were paid to give up during Halftime.
