FOXBOROUGH, MASS.—Before the New England Patriots could show off their latest Super Bowl banner, they needed to do some minor renovations to their home stadium. The team had run out of room on the facade where their first four banners were displayed. quarterback Alex Smith threw four touchdown passes, while rookie running back Kareem Hunt, after fumbling on his first play from scrimmage, racked up 246 total yards and three TDs — one rushing, two receiving. Flo Rida performed on an end zone stage, and Boston-grown actor Mark Wahlberg served as master of ceremonies for the banner ceremony. Five half-ton replicas of the Vince Lombardi Trophy were stationed on the field, and players from the first four championships ducked out from behind them with the real thing.
