You are delusional thinking that NE won only because of their play in the 4th quarter. 
While it was fantastic, they needed Shanahan to make several bad decisions as well, which he did. 
Had ATL just played the percentages (run down the clock), they were a 99% favorite to win. This is not conjecture, it's 100% fact. 
WORST PLAY CALLING EVER |
Just curious, what would have happened if the punt was blocked and recovered by NE? Wouldn't be the first time. There are so many variables in a game, you can guess and speculate all day and night but you never know until it happens.
