According to Tom Brady, the architect of Patriots’ legendary moment, it might go to Lionel Messi and Co.
Down 28-3 late in the third quarter, the Patriots reeled off 31 unanswered points to down the Falcons, 34-28, in February 2017 and win the NFL’s ultimate prize in overtime. James White stretched over the line on a 2-yard pitch, the final nail in the coffin of the first overtime game in Super Bowl history.
Argentina trailed by two goals late in the second half Tuesday and the reigning World Cup champions were on the brink of elimination. Center back Christian Romero brought one back in the 79th minute, four minutes before Lionel Messi delivered another unforgettable moment by knotting it up. Enzo Fernandez put a bow on the match, scoring two minutes into second-half stoppage time.
In New England, it’s hard to top the Super Bowl comeback. On the world stage, Argentina’s last-ditch winner will not be soon forgotten.
