If you look in the dictionary under dink-and-donk there is bound to be a picture of Tom Brady. His 37 completions broke a Super Bowl record, many of these completed passes went for less than 10 yards before the catch.
And did you know realize there was only one field goal attempted the entire game? Yes, 1..tying another Super Bowl record.
So what other records went down or got tied in this Super Bowl?
