It reminded me of Super Bowl 47 quite a lot. The Ravens are up 28-6 in the third quarter and the lights in the Super Dome go out for 30 minutes. The 49ers under Jim Harbaugh mount a big comeback, but the difference was the Ravens were able to hold on and win 34-31, the 49ers fell just short. It was the last Ravens game for Ray Lewis and Ed Reed.

Rustyp does have a point. If the Falcons had not taken those sacks and played for a field goal, with Matt Bryant a solid veteran, they could of gone up by 11 instead of the 8 point lead when Brady got the ball back. I feel bad for Arthur Blank the owner of the Falcons, he was on the sidelines with his wife all ready to get the throphy and the team fell apart. That's something those players and coaches will probably never live down.

When the Pats kicked the onside attempt, I had said to myself, I saw the special teams coach talking to Belichick just before that. I said, don't be surprised if they try and onside kick, they did and Atlanta wasn't ready, but they luckily had one player get the ball. However, they never could take advantage of that great field position, you have to give New England credit for that. Matt Ryan with a short field and they couldn't capitalize, that saved the Pats.
