Most NFL Super Bowl games are either a blowout or are very slow seeming like both teams are afraid to do something wrong. This NFL Super Bowl started out like it was going to be a slow one but as the game went one, it got better and better, leading up to a finish fitting for a championship football game.
The first quarter was slow and although Tom Brady and the New England Patriots were able to move the football a little, the first quarter ended with in a 0-0 tie.
The Seattle Seahawks just couldn’t seem to get their offence fired up, good thing for them that their defense kept them in the game. The second quarter had a lot more action and the second quarter ended in a 14-14 tie.

So after three quarters of Super Bowl XLIX the score was the Seattle Seahawks 24 and the New England Patriots 14. The Patriots were now down by 10 points and no team in NFL Super Bowl history had ever come back when down by 10 or more points. The New England Patriots were looking to change that.
Tom Brady, not wanting to lose his third NFL Super Bowl in a row (Previous 2 were lost to the New York Giants) was a man on a mission. He quickly marched the Patriots down the field to score a touchdown with a TD (touchdown) pass to Danny Amendola.
Then after the Seattle Seahawks couldn’t do anything in their possession following Brady’s touchdown, it was time to put the ball back into Tom Brady’s hands once more. Brady then marched the New England Patriots down the field and scored another touchdown with a Brady TD pass to Julian Edelman.
The score was now New England Patriots 28 and the Seattle Seahawks 24. Just when it seemed that the Seattle Seahawks were going to lose this game, an unbelievable catch by their receiver Jermaine Kearse gave the Seahawks first and goal from inside the 10 yard line.
After taking a time-out, the Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson handed the ball off to Marshawn Lynch who gained 4 yards getting them down to the 1 yard line.
On the next play, history was made. Russell Wilson threw an interception that was caught by Malcolm Butler of the Patriots, ending the dreams of a second straight NFL Super Bowl title for the Seattle Seahawks.
