The play also suddenly set off a scoring explosion from both teams in the closing minutes of the first half. </p><p>The Panthers stormed down the field on their ensuing possession, driving 95 yards in eight plays, which featured two receptions by wide receiver <a href="/wiki/Ricky_Proehl" title="Ricky Proehl">Ricky Proehl</a> for 28 yards and a 23-yard catch by wide receiver <a href="/wiki/Muhsin_Muhammad" title="Muhsin Muhammad">Muhsin Muhammad</a>, and ended with a 39-yard touchdown completion from Delhomme to wide receiver <a href="/wiki/Steve_Smith_Sr." title="Steve Smith Sr.">Steve Smith</a> with just 1:07 left in the half. </p><p>The Patriots immediately countered with a 6-play, 78-yard scoring drive of their own. Starting from their own 22-yard line, Brady completed a 12-yard pass to wide receiver <a href="/wiki/David_Givens" title="David Givens">David Givens</a>. Then after throwing an incompletion, Brady completed a 52-yard strike to Branch, who caught the ball at the Carolina 24-yard line in stride before being tackled at the 14-yard line by cornerback <a href="/wiki/Ricky_Manning" title="Ricky Manning">Ricky Manning</a>. Three plays later, Givens caught a 5-yard touchdown pass from Brady to give New England a 14–7 lead with only 18 seconds left in the half. New England decided to <a href="/wiki/Squib_kick" title="Squib kick">squib kick</a> the ensuing kickoff to prevent a long return, but their plan backfired as Carolina tight end <a href="/wiki/Kris_Mangum" title="Kris Mangum">Kris Mangum</a> picked up the ball at his own 35-yard line and returned it 12 yards to the 47. The Patriots expected a pass play from the Panthers, but instead running back <a href="/wiki/Stephen_Davis_(American_football)" title="Stephen Davis (American football)">Stephen Davis</a> ran for 21 yards on the next play to set up kicker <a href="/wiki/John_Kasay" title="John Kasay">John Kasay</a>'s 50-yard field goal as time expired in the half, cutting Carolina's deficit to 14–10. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Third_quarter">Third quarter</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Super_Bowl_XXXVIII&action=edit&section=15" title="Edit section: Third quarter"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>The third quarter was scoreless as each team exchanged punts twice.<sup id="cite_ref-45" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-45"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>45<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> However, with 3:57 left in the period, the Patriots put together a 71-yard, 8-play scoring drive, featuring tight end <a href="/wiki/Daniel_Graham" title="Daniel Graham">Daniel Graham</a>'s 33-yard reception to advance to the Carolina 9-yard line. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Fourth_quarter">Fourth quarter</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Super_Bowl_XXXVIII&action=edit&section=16" title="Edit section: Fourth quarter"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Antowain Smith then capped off the drive with a 2-yard touchdown run on the second play on the fourth quarter to increase their lead, 21–10. This play changed the game completely, which made it very interesting. The score changed the story of the game by sparking a scoring explosion, one that became one of the biggest offensive explosions in Super Bowl history, with both teams scoring a combined 37 points in the last 15 minutes, the most ever in a single quarter of a Super Bowl. </p><p>The Patriots looked gassed, and Carolina took advantage of it. Delhomme started out Carolina's ensuing drive with a 13-yard completion to Muhammad. After guard <a href="/wiki/Kevin_Donnalley" title="Kevin Donnalley">Kevin Donnalley</a> committed a false start penalty on the next play, Delhomme completed a pair of passes to Smith for a total gain of 40 yards. Running back <a href="/wiki/DeShaun_Foster" title="DeShaun Foster">DeShaun Foster</a> then scored on a 33-yard touchdown run, cutting the Panthers' deficit to 21–16 after Delhomme's two-point conversion pass to Muhammad fell incomplete. The Patriots responded on their ensuing possession by driving to the Carolina 9-yard line, only to turn the ball over when cornerback <a href="/wiki/Reggie_Howard" title="Reggie Howard">Reggie Howard</a> intercepted a pass from Brady in the end zone and returned it to his own 10-yard line. Then on third down from his own 15-yard line, Delhomme threw for the longest play from scrimmage in Super Bowl history, an 85-yard touchdown completion to Muhammad. Carolina's two-point conversion attempt failed again when Delhomme threw the ball over wide receiver <a href="/wiki/Kevin_Dyson" title="Kevin Dyson">Kevin Dyson</a>'s head, but they took their first lead of the game, 22–21, with 6:53 remaining. It was the first time in Super Bowl history a team down more than 10 points during the fourth quarter had come back to take the lead. Three other times teams have come back to tie the game; the <a href="/wiki/Tennessee_Titans" title="Tennessee Titans">Tennessee Titans</a> against the <a href="/wiki/St._Louis_Rams" title="St. Louis Rams">St. Louis Rams</a> in <a href="/wiki/Super_Bowl_XXXIV" title="Super Bowl XXXIV">Super Bowl XXXIV</a>, the Rams against the Patriots in <a href="/wiki/Super_Bowl_XXXVI" title="Super Bowl XXXVI">Super Bowl XXXVI</a>, and the Patriots against the <a href="/wiki/Atlanta_Falcons" title="Atlanta Falcons">Atlanta Falcons</a> in <a href="/wiki/Super_Bowl_LI" title="Super Bowl LI">Super Bowl LI</a>. </p><p>However, Carolina's lead did not last, as New England retook the lead on their next drive, advancing 68 yards with the aid of a pair of completions from Brady to Givens for 43 total yards. Once again, the Patriots were faced with third down and goal, but this time they scored with Brady's 1-yard touchdown pass to Vrabel, who had lined up in an eligible tight end position. This marked the second time in Super Bowl history where a defensive player was brought on to score on offense; the first time being when <a href="/wiki/Chicago_Bears" title="Chicago Bears">Chicago Bears</a> defensive tackle <a href="/wiki/William_Perry_(American_football)" title="William Perry (American football)">William "The Refrigerator" Perry</a> scored an offensive touchdown during <a href="/wiki/Super_Bowl_XX" title="Super Bowl XX">Super Bowl XX</a>. On a two-point conversion attempt, running back <a href="/wiki/Kevin_Faulk" title="Kevin Faulk">Kevin Faulk</a> took a direct snap and ran into the end zone to make the score 29–22 in favor of New England. Despite amassing over 1,000 combined yards, Faulk's two-point conversion constituted the only points he scored all season. This was also the Patriots' only two-point conversion attempt all season. </p><p>The Panthers countered on their next possession. Foster started the drive with a 9-yard run and a 7-yard reception. After that, Delhomme completed a 19-yard pass to Muhammad, followed by a 31-yard completion to Proehl. Proehl, who caught the fourth quarter game-tying touchdown pass against the Patriots in <a href="/wiki/Super_Bowl_XXXVI" title="Super Bowl XXXVI">Super Bowl XXXVI</a> two years earlier for the <a href="/wiki/2001_St._Louis_Rams_season" title="2001 St. Louis Rams season">St. Louis Rams</a>, then finished the drive with a 12-yard touchdown reception, tying the game, 29–29, with 1:08 to play in regulation and it appeared that the game would be the first Super Bowl ever to go into overtime. </p><p>However, Kasay kicked the ensuing kickoff out of bounds, giving New England the ball on their own 40-yard line.<sup id="cite_ref-46" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-46"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>46<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Brady led the Patriots offense down the field with a 13-yard pass to Brown on second down. An offensive pass interference penalty on Brown pushed New England back to their own 43-yard line, but another 13-yard pass to Brown and a 4-yard pass to Graham brought up a critical 3rd-and-3 from the Carolina 40-yard line. The Panthers' defense could not prevent the Patriots from gaining the first down, as Brady completed a 17-yard pass to Branch. On the next play, Vinatieri kicked a 41-yard field goal to give New England the lead, 32–29, with four seconds left in the game.<sup id="cite_ref-47" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-47"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>47<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Carolina failed on their last chance, as wide receiver <a href="/wiki/Rod_Smart" title="Rod Smart">Rod Smart</a> was tackled at his own 20-yard line by linebacker <a href="/wiki/Matt_Chatham" title="Matt Chatham">Matt Chatham</a>, and the Patriots had won their second Super Bowl in three years.
