The credit goes to the Cheatingest coach on the planet who seems to have gotten it done without cheating this time.

Not to take anything from the defense, but when you're down 28-3 in the second half, you need perfect play from your quarterback, and that's exactly what the Patriots got from Brady. In the fourth quarter alone, Brady went 16 of 21 for 196 yards. He then followed that up with an even more impressive showing in overtime by going 5 of 6 for 50 yards. Over the fourth quarter and overtime combined, Brady went 21 of 27 for 246 yards and a touchdown.
He finished 43 of 62 for 466 yards overall and smashed several Super Bowl records in the win.
Just saying
