Game facts: Super Bowl LI (Patriots)

Published: Nov 01, 2016 at 02:45 PM

Frequent visitors: This will be New England's ninth Super Bowl appearance (most in NFL history).

Front runners: The Patriots haven't trailed in a game since Week 12 (longest streak since 2005 Colts).

Marquee matchup: This game will feature the NFL's top scoring offense in the regular season (Atlanta) and its top scoring defense (New England).

Good sign?:The Patriots have had a top-10 scoring defense in every Super Bowl-winning season during the Bill Belichick era.

Unlike anything they've seen: New England is yet to face a QB who finished in the top-10 in passer rating during the 2016 regular season. Matt Ryan finished first in passer rating (117.1).
