Super Bowl LI will live long in the memory for anyone who watched it.
The New England Patriots won the match 34-28 against the Atlanta Falcons. At one point, the Patriots trailed 28-3, in what became the biggest winning-comeback in Super Bowl history.
New England trailed in normal time for a total of 41:18 of the 60-minute match. When you take out the time until the first score of the game, Atlanta led for 41:18 out of a total of 42:15.
With 57 seconds left in the match, the Patriots tied the game at 28-28. It was the first time in over 30 minutes of football that they were not trailing.
As the game went to overtime, the Patriots scored through a James White touchdown, 3:58 into the additional period. Once White scored, the game immediately ended, meaning the Patriots created a unique record.
In winning their fifth Super Bowl, the New England Patriots won the game, by leading in the match for a total of zero seconds.
That's sure to be a quiz question in years to come.
