The New England Patriots are taking on the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday in Super Bowl LI. The NFL championship game is happening in Houston this year, and tens of millions of people are expected to tune in for the showdown, the commercials and Lady Gaga’s halftime performance.
Incredible Comeback
The New England Patriots completed one of the most unlikely comebacks in Super Bowl history on Sunday with an overtime victory over the Atlanta Falcons, scoring on the first drive to win 34-28. The team had been down 9-28 to start the fourth quarter.

OVERTIME!
The Falcons failed to score on their final drive, and New England failed to score on a last-ditch play, sending the Super Bowl to overtime for the first time in history.
