The New England Patriots are Super Bowl Champions for the fourth time in the team's illustrious history, after beating the Seattle Seahawks 28-24, Sunday in Houston.

There is NOTHING left to be proven.

After two weeks of listening to people call for their demise and discredit all that they've accomplished, the Patriots faced legitimate adversity trailing by 10 and roared back to take the title.

Tom Brady did what Tom Brady does. He put on a clinic, throwing for 328 yards and shattering both the single Super Bowl game completions record and all time Super Bowl touchdown record. He connected with four different receivers for touchdowns and led the game-winning drive with under five minutes remaining.

While Brady played well, and snagged the MVP title for the third time in four wins, it was undrafted rookie free agent Malcolm Butler who closed the game with the play of his life; a goal line pick of Russell Wilson with 20 seconds left to go.

The call to forgo handing the ball off to bruising running back Marshawn Lynch shocked just about everybody on earth and will undoubtedly be questioned for as long as this game is discussed and dissected.

The simple truth, however, is that if Seattle converts the play Pete Carroll is touted as a genius. Instead, the pick makes him the goat and not the kind that stands for "Greatest of All Time."

Getting back to the game, the Pats were 10 point dogs heading into the 4th quarter. After scoring a quick touchdown and forcing the Seahawks to punt, Brady cut through the Seattle defense. He connected with Rob Gronkowski, Shane Vareen and Julian Edelman repeatedly to get within yards of the goal line. Once there, it was a simple out route run by Edelman that finished the drive off with the score to pull ahead.

After another agonizing minute and 40 seconds that added a David Tyree-like moment, Butler shut the door on a Seattle comeback.

The rest is history. Cynics can call this Patriots team whatever they want, but now they must also call them champions!
