Line 219:
Branch and Terrell Owens each had 100 yards receiving, marking the third time in Super Bowl history, one player from each team had over 100 yards in a Super Bowl. [[Michael Irvin]] and [[Andre Reed]] were the first in [[Super Bowl XXVII]], and Branch and [[Muhsin Muhammad]] the second a year earlier in [[Super Bowl XXXVIII]]. Branch also became the fourth player to have at least 100 yards receiving in back-to-back Super Bowls, joining [[John Stallworth]], [[Jerry Rice]] and [[Antonio Freeman]]. Also, Mike Vrabel and David Givens became just the 14th and 15th players to score a touchdown in consecutive Super Bowls. Vrabel is the most surprising person on this list because he is a linebacker and he scored his on offense. They also became just the 7th and 8th players to catch a touchdown in back-to-back Super Bowls.
With the victory, Tom Brady became just the fourth quarterback to win at least three Super Bowls, along with [[Terry Bradshaw]], [[Joe Montana]] and [[Troy Aikman]].<ref>{{Cite web |last=Stellino |first=Vito |date=December 20, 2012 |title=Tom Brady won third Super Bowl in Jacksonville, hasn't won one since |url=https://www.jacksonville.com/story/sports/nfl/2012/12/21/tom-brady-won-third-super-bowl-jacksonville-hasnt-won-one/15843474007/ |access-date=2024-06-16 |website=The Florida Times-Union |language=en-US}}</ref> Brady also became the fourth quarterback to throw a touchdown pass in three different Super Bowls. Other quarterbacks to do it were Bradshaw, Montana, and [[John Elway]], with [[Kurt Warner]] later accomplishing the feat during [[Super Bowl XLIII]] and [[Peyton Manning]] in [[Super Bowl XLVIII]].
The Patriots joined the [[Dallas Cowboys]] as the only teams in NFL history to win three Super Bowls in a span of four years.<ref>{{Cite web |date=July 8, 2005 |title=PFW: Three-peat After Me |url=https://www.patriots.com/news/pfw-three-peat-after-me-131356 |access-date=2024-06-16 |website=Patriots.com |language=en-US}}</ref>
