It's not about how Super Bowls start. It's about how they finish.

Super Bowl LI started off with what could arguably be the most boring few hours of football in Super Bowl history. The Atlanta Falcons seemed to have the game in the bag. Quarterback Matt Ryan seemed to be doing everything right, whereas his opponent Tom Brady could not prevent getting sacked or missing wide-open receivers down the field.

The lifeless Patriots were down 28-3 going into halftime. Lady Gaga was the only thing that seemed to give the game life.

And then the Patriots happened.

Granted, the first touchdown of the night coming from Tom Brady only came at the end of the third quarter and even then, the game didn't feel competitive in the slightest bit.

But once that first score came, it was like taking candy from a baby for the Patriots.

They went on a tear, defensively stopping the Falcons and then offensively, with Brady leading the way. Huge play after huge play came easily for the Patriots, with the Falcons stunned and unable to respond.

The Patriots managed to succeed in the largest comeback ever in NFL Super Bowl history. Previously to last night, the largest comeback was a mere 10 points.

This historic Super Bowl had another first—overtime.

The Patriots forced the Falcons to extra time and ended up not only receiving the ball first, but scoring on the first drive. The game ended 34-28, Patriots. The Falcons never scored again after the second quarter.

Brady received his fifth ring, the most ever among quarterbacks. He finished the night with historic numbers: 43 completions for a record 466 yards.

Whether you love or hate them, the Patriots pulled off making what could've been the worst Super Bowl in NFL history to possibly the best we'll ever see.

I guess it's true what they say. It ain't over 'til it's over.

Instagram's Newest Feature That You Can't Find Anywhere Else

Snapchat started the trend of story-telling, creating 24-hour snaps that you share to the world. Instagram now has this feature as well. Well, Instagram has changed the game again. This time, you can post multiple photos within a single feed post. As in, you swipe right and see multiple pictures all under one post. Sure, Twitter and Facebook have similar features where you can post multiple pictures at once, but not quite like this. Instagram, unlike Facebook, Twitter, and so on, is a photo-based social media platform. Before, only advertisers could do such a thing on Instagram, leaving the rest of us to pick only the best picture (or two at the most) to represent our big event, birthday or holiday to keep from spamming (and annoying) our follower’s feeds. To use the feature, you need to tap the ‘Select Multiple’ option first on the bottom of the photo or video you want to upload. From there, you can select the content you want to include; they’ll be numbered in the order th...
