  3. Tom Brady: "We knew it was going to be tough, Kansas are explosive and they have been beating teams here all year. It was awesome, what a game."

  4. Patriots coach Bill Belichick: "You have to give all the credit to the players, this is a very tough place to play. They just competed against another great team. They deserve it.

    "You can't buy these titles, you have to earn them."

  5. What a game.

  6. Tom Brady will play in his ninth Super Bowl.

    NINE!

  7. Get involved

    The Supreme Meme: Still think both teams should get a possession in OT, touchdown or not

    Graham Butler: No overtimes for weeks, then two turn up at once. Did Lothian buses take over the NFL?

    Andrew Priestley: Brady hitting Edelman and Gronk with laser beams on those three BIG 3rd Down plays in that OT drive. Big time players coming up big for the New England Patriots as per usual.

  8. What a night! Two overtime games, two away wins.

    It will be New England Patriots v LA Rams in the Super Bowl in a fortnight's time.

  9. From one great to another

  10. Tom Brady: "It's everything. Overtime, on the road against a great team, they wouldn't quit. I'm tired, that was a hell of a game.

    "What a year. It's unbelievable, this is crazy."
