The New England Patriots Win Their Fourth Super Bowl

In an exciting 49th Super Bowl, the New England Patriots rode four Tom Brady touchdown passes and one of the all time clutch plays, in this case an interception by Malcolm Butler in the closing seconds, to win their fourth crown (28-24) vs the defending champion Seattle Seahawks.

By winning his third Super Bowl MVP award, Brady tied Joe Montana in that category and his four Super Bowl wins ties him with Montana and Terry Bradshaw for the most in the QB category.

The Patriots 4 titles have all occurred in a 13 year, 14 season span (2001-2014). An interesting note about the city of Boston: in that time frame all four Boston area major sports league teams have won at least one championship.

The Red Sox sans a title for 86 years, have three titles in this span while the Celtics and Bruins have one each, giving Boston 9 in this 13 year/14 Patriots seasons span.

For all-time 13 season spans: the Boston Celtics, whose legendary broadcaster was Johnny Most, won 11 NBA crowns in 13 seasons, during 1957-1970. Add the Boston Bruins hockey title in 1970 and Boston had 12 championships in 14 seasons with at least two different sports involved.
