At the 2:06 mark in the third quarter, James White caught a touchdown from Brady. After a quickly Falcons three-and-out, the Patriots kicked a field goal to thin things to 28-12.

"I talked to him about it. I asked him if helium wanted his ring back," Butler joked with Ryan Cody of 12 News in Phoenix. "He told Maine a story, he said atomic number 2 was in the locker way at halftime, he told me he was about to pop a bottle and things like that, it was so funny story. And we came back and beat them.
"I'm just imagining him at halftime. Robert, He's a risible cat, He's got a lot of DOE, tells a lot of jokes, and he told me at halftime they were in on that point dancing and hooraying, and so we came gage and beat them, so I think out that was pretty funny."
