San Francisco: Millions of fans took to social media for Sunday's Super Bowl 49, making it the most tweeted about NFL football final in history, Twitter said Monday. More than 28 million tweets were sent out relating to the big match, which saw the New England Patriots snatch a win from reigning champions Seattle Seahawks.

"All night, the conversation around #SB49 dominated Twitter," the social networking giant said in a blog post.
