While so many were expecting a shootout, a scoreless first quarter in the Super Bowl is nothing new for Tom Brady.
Brady, trying to become the first quarterback to win five Super Bowls, never led his team to a point in the first quarter of his previous six Super Bowls, including his four wins.
In the 2004 Super Bowl in the same building, when the Patriots beat Carolina 32-29, it was scoreless after the first quarter in Houston's NRG Stadium.
Each team punted twice in the first quarter. The biggest highlight was Devonta Freeman's 37-yard run for Atlanta. But the Falcons didn't get another first down on that drive.
For the first time in 11 years, both teams punted on each of their first two offensive possessions in a Super Bowl.
