NFL
The 10 Most Impactful Plays of Super Bowl LI
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?

2. Amendola's Two-Point Conversion Ties It

Win Probability Swing: +14.86% | Win Probability After: 46.12%

As you'll recall before, White's second touchdown (it's hard to keep track of all of these pups) made it a two-point game with the win odds at 31.23%. Amendola helped polish that off.


As a reminder, the Patriots' win odds were all the way down at 4.37% at one point on this very drive. Amendola's two-point conversion made them 46.12%. This means that over the course of nine plays, they went from winning one out of every 20 times to drawing even. That's an historic drive, and it'll live on in NFL lore for quite some time.

But even that couldn't top the list as the most impactful play of Super Bowl LI. Instead, this was the game-changing play that went all for naught.
