That was HORRIBLE defense by the Patriots. Couldn't hold it for less than 30 seconds? What were they thinking???

by windust via ESPN 2/2/2015 1:00:43 AM
I also agree with KC that Pats D let up early in that drive...can't allow the Wilson scramble, etc

And there it is....RT @ChrisPaulComedy: I tell ya what, the Seahawks balls aren't deflated! Touchdown! #SB49

If the Super Bowl ended right now, Chris Matthews would be the MVP.

by KC Joyner via ESPN 2/2/2015 1:01:35 AM
Just like nba if you are up by 3 at end of the game. Patriots defenders should have mugged and fouled the receivers and killed time off the clock. Who cares if you take a flag. You waste time and don't give Seahawks any time but to take the field goal at the end.

Third time in Super Bowl history that game is tied at halftime.

Chris Matthews nickname is of course "Hardball." #Tremendous

Patriots RB snaps in first half: Shane Vereen 23, LeGarrette Blount 17.

by Mike Reiss via twitter 2/2/2015 1:02:08 AM
#Seahawks 7 pass attempts are the fourth fewest by any team in the 1st half in Super Bowl history, per Elias.

I bet Belichick is LIVID

Hello. RT @DavidMulugheta: Pete Carroll obviously lives by the motto... "Scary money don't make money"!!!

Is it possible that a Kentucky football player is going to do something bigger this year than any Kentucky basketball player?

by Ian O'Connor via twitter 2/2/2015 1:04:31 AM
Matthews did not have an NFL catch until today.

by Terry Blount via twitter 2/2/2015 1:04:45 AM
Ryan should be getting an earful

by DaninFlorida via ESPN 2/2/2015 1:04:48 AM
Totally agree with comment made by Frank. NE should have mugged the Seattle players on that last drive.

by KC Joyner via ESPN 2/2/2015 1:05:08 AM
They are getting ready for halftime... http://pbs.twimg.com/media/B8zRKuaCcAAbV6-.jpg

Brady played great in 1st half, BUT...what if he just takes the sack instead of panicked INT?

by Matt Williamson via ESPN 2/2/2015 1:05:24 AM
If NE players are called for holding on that last drive, who cares? Wears the clock down, which is more important.

by KC Joyner via ESPN 2/2/2015 1:05:32 AM
Bunch of dancers who look like the tin man coming onto the field for half time show. Not optimistic.

by Jane McManus via twitter 2/2/2015 1:05:59 AM
Still don't know where Brady was throwing that ball on the pick.

by KC Joyner via ESPN 2/2/2015 1:06:00 AM
Chris Matthews was inactive vs. #AZCardinals in Week 16 -- Only game since he was promoted from SEA PS on 12/6 he didn't play in.

by Josh Weinfuss via twitter 2/2/2015 1:06:15 AM
Per Elias Sports Bureau, Seahawks' 7 pass attempts 4th fewest in 1st half in Super Bowl history. Dolphins threw 6 passes 3 times in SBs.

by Mike Reiss via twitter 2/2/2015 1:06:17 AM
Seems like Ryan should have lined up with his heels on goal line and don't react until Matthews gets even with you considering circumstances

by Matt Williamson via ESPN 2/2/2015 1:06:44 AM
Tom Brady's 20 completions in the first half are a Super Bowl record in the first half of a Super Bowl, per Elias Sports Bureau.

by Mike Reiss via twitter 2/2/2015 1:06:54 AM
Tom Brady's 20 completions in the first half are a Super Bowl record according to Elias.

During Friday's practice, Bill Belichick simulated the longer-than-normal Super Bowl halftime break with players.

Agree, MW. Got to wonder if Patriots blew their chance by not getting up 17-7, which they very well could have.

by KC Joyner via ESPN 2/2/2015 1:22:03 AM
Rushing: Pats -- Blount 10/37, Edelman 1/7, Vereen 1/1. Seahawks -- Lynch 12/45 TD, Wilson 2/24, Turbin 1/19.

by Josh Weinfuss via twitter 2/2/2015 1:22:16 AM
Both teams seem to be using extra WR sets to open up the run game.

by KC Joyner via ESPN 2/2/2015 1:22:47 AM
What kinds of adjustments for both teams do you predict in second half?

Half time shows have come a long way over the last 49 years

Katy should've brought Missy up there... http://pbs.twimg.com/media/B8zVYfhCQAAHXq8.jpg

Disney signs a bunch of people to contingency contracts for the game-ending spot. Odds that Chris Matthews is on the list? ZERO.

by darren rovell via twitter 2/2/2015 1:24:18 AM
Katy flies away to end the halftime show.

Fireworks inside and outside for Katy Perry's finale. Subtle, yet tasteful. #SB49 http://pbs.twimg.com/media/B8zVs9BCMAEEdMj.jpg

Stop. RT @JerryBrewer: Katy Perry is just gonna hang up there and watch the second half.
