Super Bowl LI was one of the greatest games in NFL history, thanks to a historic comeback from Tom Brady and the New England Patriots.
The game will also be remembered for the awkward post-game moment that came when NFL commissioner Roger Goodell finally had to come face-to-face with the team whose fan base has ruthlessly mocked him following Deflategate.
When presenting the Lombardi Trophy to the Patriots, boos rained down from the crowd at NRG Stadium like everyone expected.
