The Patriots took the lead with two minutes to go after Wide Receiver Julian Edelman secured a touchdown with two minutes to go, securing the Vince Lombardi trophy amid various 'Deflate-Gate' accusations.
Thirty seven-year old Quarterback Tom Brady was named the most valuable player for the team, securing his fourth Super Bowl title and setting the record for the most touchdown passes at 13, beating Joe Montana's record.
Patriots Cornerback Malcolm Butler intercepted a pass on the goal-line 20 seconds before the end of the game, securing the title. Butler said in a press interview afterwards "I just had a vision that I was going to make a big play and it came true."
This puts the Patriots tied in third place for the most Super Bowl wins, alongside the Green Bay Packers and New York Giants. The Pittsburgh Steelers still hold the record with six Super Bowl wins, with the Dallas Cowboys and San Francisco 49ers in second with five wins.
More than 110 million people tuned in to watch the Super Bowl XLIX worldwide, broadcast to 25 nations. The price for adverts went up to $4.5 million this year, with many paying over $10 million for 30 seconds of screentime.
Katy Perry hosted the halftime show, revealing a menagerie of stages. Perry was also spotted wearing a Wii remote-band to hold her microphone, a bit of indirect Nintendo sponsorship.
