Tom Brady overcame a 25-point deficit in his Super Bowl victory over the Atlanta Falcons. In Super Bowl LI on February 5, 2017, Atlanta led New England 28–3 before the Patriots completed the largest comeback in Super Bowl history, winning 34–28 in overtime.
The Falcons dominated the first half, scoring three touchdowns in the second quarter while the Patriots managed only a field goal. New England gradually recovered through Brady’s passing, key catches by Julian Edelman and Danny Amendola, and James White’s record-setting performance. The Patriots tied the game at 28–28 late in the fourth quarter, then won when White scored on a two-yard overtime touchdown.
The 25-point comeback is often remembered as a 28–3 comeback because that was Atlanta’s largest lead. The deficit itself is 25 points, which makes 25 the precise answer. The victory also gave Brady his fifth Super Bowl title and his fourth Super Bowl MVP award.
