‣ NFL Super Bowl LXI - Mercedes-Benz Stadium, Atlanta, Georgia
(18-3) New England Patriots vs. Dallas Cowboys (14-6)
NE | 7 | 3 | 3 | 14 | 27
DAL | 6 | 3 | 3 | 7 | 19


Hunter Henry earns Super Bowl MVP as Patriots bring the Lombardi back to Foxborough
Drake Maye's first ever NFL touchdown pass was thrown to tight end Austin Hooper. In Maye's first season in the NFL, tight end Hunter Henry led the team in receptions and finished second behind only Cooper Kupp in Maye's second season despite missing several games.

Maye loves his tight ends and Henry came through on Sunday, scoring an improbable 69-yard touchdown in the first quarter and then scoring the pivotal touchdown in the fourth quarter as the Patriots beat the Dallas Cowboys 27-19 in Atlanta to win the franchise's seventh Super Bowl.

Despite being down two starting corners in Christian Gonzalez and Marcus Jones, New England's defense completely blanketed Dallas' offense that were held without a touchdown entering the fourth quarter as the Patriots held on to a one-point lead. Maye would convert a third-and-seven with a completion to Henry to get the ball to the Cowboys' 25-yard line followed by a ten-yard completion to another tight end in Oscar Delp and then two plays later, on third and six, Maye went back to Henry for the eleven yard touchdown.

It was Henry's second touchdown of the night, eventually taking home the Super Bowl MVP. His first touchdown was one for the ages as Maye found him near the sidelines after scrambling out of the pocket. Cowboys safety Malik Hooker dove for the deflection and when he failed to reach the football, it left Henry by himself up the Dallas sideline with Trevon Diggs giving chase.

Diggs, who is the brother of Patriots receiver Stefon Diggs, would reach Henry who dragged him into the endzone for the score. Diggs would get an interception while his brother had a quiet day, catching four passes for twenty yards.

With the eight point deficit, the pressure turned up on Dak Prescott and Dallas' offense, who went three-and-out on the next possession following an early down sack. Maye would then orchestrate an eleven play drive, extended by a 22-yard completion to Henry on third and four. It ended with Rhamondre Stevenson punching it in with six minutes left in the game, effectively sealing the victory. Stevenson's on the next possession after a Cowboys turnover on down from the 50-yard line would allow the Cowboys to score a late touchdown with seven seconds left to make the final score closer.
