Broken arm, twin celebrations, mystery: four Super Bowl stories

JULIAN EDELMAN: With a cigar between his lips, the wide receiver marched toward the exit of the arena. Not quarterback star Tom Brady, but his most important ball catcher was named most valuable player (MVP). Another highlight in the career of the 32-year-old, who, like Brady, came into the league as an underdog. This season, Edelman was suspended for four games for using performance-enhancing drugs. This is also a parallel to Brady, who was also missing for this period two years ago due to the affair about under-inflated balls. And the playmaker was also named MVP afterwards.

DEVIN AND JASON MCCOURTY: His third Super Bowl triumph with the Patriots was a very special one for Devin McCourty. For the first time, the defender was able to celebrate together with his twin brother Jason, who moved to New England before this season. “It’s the best feeling ever,” Devin McCourty said. “He did everything right this year.”

PATRICK CHUNG: The Patriots defender didn't let his injury stop him from celebrating. His broken right arm hung in a black sling and the 31-year-old lifted the Vince Lombardi Trophy into the air with his left hand. When he was injured early in the third quarter, he insisted on leaving the field running. “I can’t go out in a car, brother,” Chung said indignantly.

TODD GURLEY: It's the biggest mystery of this Super Bowl: What was going on with star running back Todd Gurley of the Rams? The 24-year-old only ran with the ball ten times and gained a measly 35 yards of space. An injury that slowed him down before the playoffs was no longer a problem, everyone involved assured afterwards. But why Rams coach Sean McVay didn't use one of his most important offensive forces more often remained a mystery for the time being.
