You couldn't pick two more different teams for the Super Bowl when it comes to their history in the big game.
The Atlanta Falcons and New England Patriots will settle things on the field Feb. 5, and hopefully salvage what has been a not-so-exciting postseason. The Falcons have never won a Super Bowl. Atlanta made it to Super Bowl XXXIII, but ended up losing to the Broncos 34-19. The Patriots are eyeing a fifth Lombardi Trophy.
Super Bowl LI will be played at NRG Stadium in Houston, Texas, home of the Houston Texans. Kickoff is set for 6:30 p.m. ET.
Here are the results of the previous 50 Super Bowls:
