2015 SUPER BOWL XLIX


THE STORY OF

Super Bowl XLIX was an American football game played to determine the champion of

the National Football League (NFL) for the 2014 season. The American Football

Conference (AFC) champion New England Patriots defeated the National Football

Conference (NFC) champion Seattle Seahawks, 28–24, to earn their fourth Super Bowl

title. The game was played on February 1, 2015, at University of Phoenix Stadium in

Glendale, Arizona. It was the second time the stadium has hosted a Super Bowl, and

the third one held in the Phoenix metropolitan area.



The Seahawks finished the regular season with a 12–4 record and made their second

consecutive appearance in the Super Bowl, having defeated the Denver Broncos,

43–8, in Super Bowl XLVIII, while the Patriots, who also posted a 12–4 record, joined

the Dallas Cowboys and Pittsburgh Steelers as one of the three teams to have made

eight appearances in the Super Bowl. For the second straight season, but only the

third time in the prior 21 seasons, the number one seeds from both conferences met in

the league championship game. Seattle became the first team to appear in

consecutive Super Bowls since New England won two straight (XXXVIII and XXXIX).

the ball to New England's 1-yard line. With 26 seconds remaining in the game, they

decided to pass the ball in a highly scrutinized play that resulted in Patriots rookie

Malcolm Butler making a game-saving interception of Russell Wilson's throw. Patriots

quarterback Tom Brady was named the game's Most Valuable Player (MVP) after a

Super Bowl-record 37 completions on 50 attempts for 328 yards, four touchdowns,

and two interceptions.
