43–8, in Super Bowl XLVIII, while the Patriots, who also posted a 12–4 record, joined

the ball to New England's 1-yard line. With 26 seconds remaining in the game, they

Malcolm Butler making a game-saving interception of Russell Wilson's throw. Patriots
quarterback Tom Brady was named the game's Most Valuable Player (MVP) after a
Super Bowl-record 37 completions on 50 attempts for 328 yards, four touchdowns,
