What was the final score of Super Bowl LI?

The final score of Super Bowl LI was New England Patriots 34, Atlanta Falcons 28. Played on February 5, 2017, at Houston’s NRG Stadium, it was the first Super Bowl decided in overtime.

Atlanta dominated the first half and built a 28–3 lead early in the third quarter. New England then mounted the largest comeback in Super Bowl history, scoring 25 unanswered points to force overtime. Tom Brady threw for 466 yards and two touchdowns, while James White scored the winning touchdown on a two-yard run in overtime.

The Patriots’ comeback is often remembered as a 28–3 game, but 28–3 was only the score before New England’s rally was complete. The final score became 34–28 because the Patriots scored 19 points in the fourth quarter and six more in overtime. The win gave New England its fifth championship and earned Brady his fourth Super Bowl MVP award.
