    How did he do that?! Superb from Julio Jones. That's why they pay him the big bucks.

    It's a game against the clock as much as anything else now. You can score with seconds left if you use your timeouts right.

    WHAT A PLAY! Wow. Matt Ryan shrugs away from heavy pressure and then Julio Jones gathers it in inches from the line.

    A truly brilliant catch!

    Now then Atlanta, how are your nerves? We'd all as good as given you the trophy for most of the night. 

    They look good. Devonta Freeman goes over 30 yards for a huge first down!

    This would be a remarkable recovery. The biggest comeback in Superbowl history is 10 points. The Patriots were TWENTY-FIVE behind...

    "Atlanta had the game in control but New England forced the turnover. You never want to give Tom Brady a chance - wow! Can you feel the energy? This is amazing.

    "You may now start to see the inexperience of the Falcons, the inconsistencies during their season, come back to haunt them."

    Well then. Rumours of the Patriots' demise may have been premature!

    I couldn't see them having a sniff but all of a sudden one great turnover and a quick drive, and it's game on now! The NRG Stadium is bouncing now, Patriots fans in fine voice.

    The Patriots need two touchdowns and two two-point conversions in seven minutes. Doable. Just about. Not the way the teams have been playing though.

    That's a first down though.

    "I don't think we should have a Super Bowl - not at least until we have a franchise. 

    "It's too valuable in terms of heart, mind and soul in the US. I don't think it's necessarily the right thing to do."

    The day Jack White wrote the riff for Seven Nation Army is the day he would never have to worry about money again. It's played at the Super Bowl, the FA Cup final, the World Cup and every sporting event down to the local Under-8s green bowling competition.

    Atlanta are under nine minutes of playing time away from full-time and victory.

    A Falcons cheerleader collapses in the Atlanta end after too many somersaults, but I doubt she'll be feeling too embarrassed seeing as the NFC champions are well on their way to what could be their first Super Bowl win.
