Super Bowl XLIX is arguably one of the most exciting Super Bowls to date. On the contrary, most of its $4.5 million-dollar commercials weren't nearly as fun to watch.
Notes: Tom Brady won his fourth Super Bowl in 14 years, and his third Super Bowl MVP.
With this win, Brady is now tied with Joe Montana and Terry Bradshaw for most Super Bowl wins by a quarterback.
Brady also holds the record for the most career touchdown passes in the Super Bowl, as well as most Super Bowl appearances.
Brady and Belichick further heightened their records for most career playoff wins.
The Patriots became the first team to win a Super Bowl after being down by 10 points in the fourth quarter.
As of 2015, this was the most-watched Super Bowl to date.
