Patriots Win 4th Super Bowl In 14 years, Tom Brady Is MVP For 3rd time
ResumeA heroic come-from-behind fourth quarter drive by hometown hero and quarterback Tom Brady, a spectacular, circus-like catch by Seattle's Jermaine Kearse appears to snatch victory away from the Patriots. And then, with just seconds left, rookie cornerback Malcolm Butler makes the play of a lifetime, intercepting a pass from Seattle quarterback Russell Wilson, and the Patriots win their fourth Super Bowl in 14 years.
