The New England Patriots overturned a 10-point deficit at the start of the fourth quarter to beat the Seattle Seahawks 28-24 and claim a fourth Super Bowl this morning.
Malcolm Butler's interception at the death, to prevent what would have been a winning Seahawks touchdown, helped decide it and secure the Patriots their first Super Bowl in 10 years.
Trailing by just four points and sitting at the Patriots' one-yard line inside the final minute, the Seahawks inexplicably opted to throw on second down rather than hand off to the often unstoppable Marshawn Lynch.
Russell Wilson's pass never made it to its intended target, Ricardo Lockette, as Patriots cornerback Malcolm Butler stepped up and intercepted.
Too soon? Sorry Seahawks fans. 😂😠https://t.co/Jd636Ngjkx

Patriots quarterback Tom Brady threw for four touchdowns, among them a winning three-yard pass to Julian Edelman with two minutes remaining, after the Seahawks came back from 7-0 and 14-7 down to lead 24-14.
It was Brady's and coach Bill Belichick's fourth time to lift the Vince Lombardi trophy, and the 37-year-old says belief saw the Pats over the line.
