Things got a little out of control when a brawl between the Seattle Seahawks and the New England Patriots broke out in the final minute of Super Bowl XLIX, but when it came time for postgame handshakes, the players showed mutual respect for each other.

New England pulled out a 28-24 victory in an instant classic. When Patriots quarterback Tom Brady took a knee at the end of the game, Seahawks cornerback Richard Sherman was there to congratulate him and shake his hand.
