The New England Patriots' historic comeback from trailing 28-3 in the third quarter of Super Bowl LI to beat the Atlanta Falcons in overtime is considered one of the great games in the history of sports, and with good reason.
The game was full of epic performances from Tom Brady, James White, Dont'a Hightower and many other players. The Falcons' win probability was near 99 percent at one point in the third quarter, per ESPN's model. After that, everything went right for the Patriots, and it all culminated with the franchise's fifth Lombardi Trophy.
