Matt Bosher's punt pinned the Patriots back on their 9-yard line with 3:40 remaining.

White's run up the middle for the 2-point conversion cut the deficit to 28-20 with 5:56 left. Five plays later Amendola caught a 6-yard touchdown pass. Alan Branch recovered the ball at the Falcons' 25. Three plays later, on third-and-1, Dont'a Hightower sacked Ryan and forced him to fumble.

The Patriots' defense forced a three-and-out, and Brady completed 6 passes on the next drive. Gostkowski missed the extra point, leaving Atlanta's lead at 28-9. The Patriots answered with a 12-play drive that consumed more than six minutes, that was kept alive by Brady's 17-yard pass to Danny Amendola on fourth-and-3, and capped by White's 5-yard touchdown catch with 2:06 left in the quarter. After an exchange of punts to begin the second half, Matt Ryan connected on passes of 17 and 35 yards to Taylor Gabriel to highlight a 9-play, 85-yard drive that finished with Ryan's 6-yard touchdown pass to Tevin Coleman for a 28-3 lead with 8:31 left in the third quarter. A 28-yard catch by White on the next drive helped set up Stephen Gostkowski's 41-yard field goal just before halftime. However, faced with third-and-6 from the Falcons' 23, Brady's short pass to the left side was intercepted by Robert Alford, who raced 82 yards for a touchdown and 21-0 lead. The Patriots responded with a 6-plus minute drive that included 3 third-down conversions.

The Falcons strung together consecutive 5-play touchdown drives early in the second quarter, the first started with consecutive catches by Julio Jones to set up Devonta Freeman's 5-yard run, and the latter a 19-yard touchdown pass to Austin Hooper on third-and-9, to take a 14-0 lead.

All Rights Reserved.Tom Brady passed for 466 yards and 2 touchdowns, and James White scored 3 times, as the Patriots rallied from 25 points down in the third quarter to register the largest comeback in Super Bowl history and win their fifth title. And I made plays like that throughout my life, so like I say, now that I look back and look on that play I'm just wondering, could I have gathered myself, got up and caught that ball?' It was just more of a play where I think I could have made a better play of getting up and maybe just putting my body on the ball and just making the defenders run through me and the ball. It was a great play by Webster on the play, for him to be able to get up there and make a play on that ball. 'I always talk about going up and catching the ball, but I don't know if, now that I sit back and reflect and think about this play, if I could've just stopped right there and just went up and tried to catch the ball with my body, or did I just try to catch it with my fingertips and just try to run it in right there,' Moss lamented.

While making that catch at full speed while covered by two defenders would have been some feat, Moss nevertheless regrets the fact that he let the ball come to him instead of stopping his momentum and going up to get the ball.
