The Patriots pulled off an improbable comeback in winning Super Bowl LI, sending win probability meters off the charts. Which plays had the biggest impact on the final outcome, both for New England and the Atlanta Falcons?

Whew. So. That happened.

In the fourth quarter of Super Bowl LI, the Atlanta Falcons had a 98.66% chance of being world champions, according to numberFire Live. They were just a few plays away from icing their first title.
