With the New England Patriots running out of time in Super Bowl 51, Tom Brady chucked up a desperation pass to Julian Edelman. The ball was tipped up in the air by Atlanta Falcons' cornerback Robert Alford, and it looked like it was going to be an interception to seal the victory for the Falcons. Not only was it not an interception, but Edelman somehow miraculously found a way to come down with the ball, the Patriots went on to win the game, and the catch goes down as one of the greatest moments in Super Bowl history.
Once the Patriots had scored the touchdown in overtime for the win, players, media and fans rushed the field. The Patriots players were in the middle of the field celebrating the win. Everyone but Edelman, who was in a state of panic regarding whether the play was going to be reviewed.
Edelman was running around telling people to get off the field, not understanding it had been confirmed a touchdown. Poor Edelman had to be approached by head coach Bill Belichick to let him know the game was over, and they were Super Bowl champions.
Watch the sequence of events:
When Belichick confirms you're a Super Bowl champion, that's the moment you know you're a Super Bowl champion.
