星期日晚上，美国每年一度的美式足球联盟超级碗总决赛在西南部亚利桑那州举行。新英格兰爱国者队以28比24的比分战胜西雅图海鹰队，14年来第四次夺冠。
在第四节比赛开始时，爱国者队比分落后，而该队四分卫布雷迪带领队友两次达阵，将比分反超，此时离比赛结束仅剩两分钟。西雅图四分卫拉塞尔·威尔逊将球队带入新英格兰境内。比赛结束仅剩几秒钟。威尔逊在33码给队员杰梅因·基尔斯投出壮观的一球。海鹰队马肖恩·林奇接球跑到了一码线，但接下来，威尔逊的传球被爱国者队的新手巴特勒抄截，爱国者队就此奠定胜局。
比赛结束后，布雷迪荣获最有价值球员称号。这是他第三次获此殊荣。在布雷迪和主教练比尔·贝里切克领导下，爱国者队四次赢得超级碗冠军，与老牌劲旅匹茨堡钢人队、旧金山四九人队和达拉斯牛仔队并驾齐驱。
The New England Patriots defeated the Seattle Seahawks 28-24 Sunday in the U.S. National Football League's annual Super Bowl championship game in Arizona, winning its fourth NFL title in 14 years.
The Patriots were trailing in the fourth quarter when Patriots quarterback Tom Brady led his team to two scoring drives to take the lead with just two minutes to go in regulation. Seattle quarterback Russell Wilson drove the team down deep in New England territory with just seconds remaining, capped by a spectacular 33-yard reception by Jermaine Kearse. Running back Marshawn Lynch ran the ball to the one-yard-line, but on the next play, Wilson threw a pass that was intercepted by Patriots rookie defensive back Malcolm Butler to seal the historic win.
For the third time in his career, Brady was named the game's most valuable player.
Under Brady and head coach Bill Belichick, the Patriots have joined such stellar NFL franchises as the Pittsburgh Steelers, San Francisco 49ers and Dallas Cowboys with four Super Bowl wins.
