ATLANTA (97.1 The Ticket) -- Tom Brady's ninth Super Bowl appareance did not begin the way he was hoping for.
On his first dropback of the game, Brady, thanks to a ton of pressure from the Rams, threw to his right in a hurry, only to have Rams DB Nickell Robey-Coleman -- the culprit behind the NFC Championship Game no-call drama -- tip it up in the air. Cory Littleton came down with it and Brady became the first QB to throw an interception on his first pass of the Super Bowl since Jim Kelly in Super Bowl XXVI.
As you would imagine, the Twitterverse exploded:
