The 2016 NFL season concludes on Sunday when the Patriots and Falcons face off in Super Bowl LI.
New England finds itself in the championship game for the seventh time in the past 15 years, all of which coming under Bill Belichick and Tom Brady. Those two are already one of the best coach-quarterback duos football has ever seen. One more Lombardi Trophy will end any debate they're the best in NFL history.
Atlanta is just hoping to finally break through and win the franchise's first Super Bowl. This will be just the second time the Falcons have ever made a Super Bowl and the first since 1999.
Needless to say, the Patriots are viewed as the favorites in this one, not to mention an NFL Goliath when compared to franchises like the Falcons. But don’t let the Patriots’ superiority in the hardware department fool you.
This is an Atlanta team fully capable of beating anyone in this league and winning it all. On the season, quarterback Matt Ryan was MVP level with 38 touchdowns vs just seven interceptions and a 70-percent completion percentage.
Running back Devonta Freeman gouged opposing defenses for 1,079 yards and 11 touchdowns. All-Pro wide receiver Julio Jones chipped in 83 catches for 1,409 yards and six touchdowns.
All of this should make for an explosive Super Bowl that we’ll all enjoy watching. Here’s how to watch and follow it all:
