BOSTON (CBS) – The New England Patriots weren't the only winners on Super Bowl Sunday. Captain America came out on top as well.
Massachusetts native Chris Evans, a Hollywood star known for his role in the Captain America movies, will be making good on a friendly wager he made with Chris Pratt, a Seahawks fan who plays Star Lord in the film Guardians of the Galaxy.

Prior to the game the two bet that if the Patriots beat Seattle, Pratt would visit Christopher's Haven dressed as Star Lord.
Christopher's Haven is Evans' nonprofit organization that offers housing for families who have children receiving outpatient pediatric cancer treatments in Boston.
Had the Patriots lost, Evans would have made an appearance at Seattle Children's Hospital, waving the Seahawks' 12th man flag.
New England earned a dramatic 28-24 victory Sunday night. Following the game's end the two took to Twitter.
Congrats to the world champions @patriots you were the better team tonight. I will be visiting @chris_haven as Starlord. #twitterbowl
