               Patriot               Games               

               New               England's               veteran               quarterback               Drew               Bledsoe               was               injured               early               in               the               2001               season,               recovered,               but               never               got               his               job               back.

Tom               Brady               took               over               and               guided               the               Pats               through               the               regular               schedule,               the               playoffs,               and               into               the               big               one.



               The               St.

Louis               Rams,               a               two-touchdown               favorite,               were               a               high-powered               scoring               machine               that               was               expected               to               dominate               the               Patriots               in               the               2002               Super               Bowl.

The               unflappable               24-year-old               Brady               in               his               second               NFL               season               gave               his               usual               solid               performance,               kept               the               Patriots               in               the               game               with               the               help               of               a               hard-bitten               defense,               and               engineered               the               final               drive.

With               the               score               tied               17-17               and               seconds               to               play,               the               Pats'               field-goal               specialist               Adam               Vinatieri               read               the               angle               on               a               48-yard               game-winning               kick,               waited               for               the               snap               and               placement,               and               under               everything-riding-on-it               pressure               nailed               it.

It               marked               the               first               Super               Bowl               ever               won               on               the               final               play               of               the               game³⁰               and               made               Tom               Brady               the               youngest               winning               quarterback               in               Super               Bowl               history.

(This               record               was               soon               broken.

In               2006,               23-year-old               Ben               Roethlisberger               quarterbacked               the               Pittsburgh               Steelers               win               over               the               Seattle               Seahawks               in               Super               Bowl               XL.)               

               The               record               crowd               that               turned               out               for               the               victory               parade               on               Boston               streets               a               few               days               later               didn't               know               that               it               was               the               first               of               several               Super               Bowl               celebrations.



Snowboots               Two               weeks               earlier,               the               Oakland               Raiders               were               in               New               England               for               a               playoff               game.

Vinatieri,               in               a               prelude               to               his               Super               Bowl               heroics,               kicked               two               crucial               field               goals               in               a               snowstorm.

The               first,               a               45-yarder               with               less               then               two               minutes               remaining               (the               storybook               Kick               in               the               Snow,               a               line               drive               that               could               have               knocked               a               bird               off               the               crossbar),               tied               the               game.

The               second               a               less-demanding,               but               still               difficult               kick               given               the               conditions               from               23               yards               gave               the               Pats               an               overtime               victory.

Placekicking               on               a               snowy               surface               is               about               as               easy               as               riding               a               bicycle               around               a               hockey               rink.

The               kick               can               be               made               (as               shown               by               the               best               clutch               placekicker               in               NFL               history),               but               the               results               are               usually               ugly.



               NOTE.

The               Raiders               will               be               forever               bitter.

Before               the               tying               kick               they               thought               they               had               recovered               a               fumble,               but               on               review               the               referee               ruled               that               Tom               Brady's               arm               was               moving               forward               as               he               was               tackled.

Hmm.
               Vinatieri's               wintry               kicks               against               the               Raiders               were               reminiscent               of               Pat               Summerall's               (yes,               the               announcer               Pat               Summerall)               long               field               goal               in               a               snowstorm               when               the               New               York               Giants               beat               the               Cleveland               Browns               to               win               the               1958               Eastern               Conference               title.

It               was               snowing               so               hard               that               Summerall               didn't               see               the               long               kick               (off               his               toe,               not               soccer               style)               go               through               the               goalposts               and               could               only               tell               it               was               good               by               the               roar               of               the               New               York               crowd.



               .
Has               He               Ever               Missed               a               Big               One?

After               a               one-year               break,               the               2004               Patriots               put               together               a               15-game               win               streak               to               again               reach               the               Super               Bowl,               this               time               against               the               Carolina               Panthers.

The               teams               were               well               matched,               and               like               the               Super               Bowl               against               the               Rams               two               years               earlier,               the               game               seesawed.

With               a               minute               left,               Carolina's               touchdown               tied               the               game               29-29.

Tom               Brady,               calm               and               precise               as               always,               quickly               guided               his               team               into               field-goal               range,               and,               like               the               climax               in               2002,               Adam               Vinatieri               came               onto               the               field               with               the               game               and               season               riding               on               his               ability               to               make               the               41-yard               kick.

Vinatieri               (has               he               ever               missed               a               must               field               goal?)               lined               it               up,               the               ball               looked               good               off               his               foot,               and               it               was.



               The               2004               Patriots'               15-game               win               streak               was               the               longest               since               the               1972               Miami               Dolphins               put               together               a               perfect               17-0               season.

New               England               coach               Bill               Belichick               is               a               master               improviser               and               probably               the               best               defensive               mind               in               the               game.

He               recruits               good               athletes               who               can               handle               multiple               positions:               Guards               play               linebacker               and               linebackers               become               receivers,               along               with               other               combinations               that               work.

Also,               like               his               intrepid               quarterback               Tom               Brady,               Bill               Belichick               is               a               forward-looking               model               of               consistency               and               discipline               who               knows               how               to               win.



               "If               you               live               in               the               past,               you               die               in               the               present."               -Bill               Belichick
               Three               Out               Of               Four
               New               England               played               most               of               the               fall               of               2004               with               a               defensive               secondary               that               was               decimated               by               injuries,               with               two               all-star               cornerbacks               out               for               the               season               and               the               strong               safety               out               for               several               games.

Not               to               worry,               Belichick               played               Troy               Brown               his               all-Pro               wide               receiver               at               cornerback,               and               the               reserve               defensive               backs               stepped               up.



The               Pats               cruised               through               the               regular               season,               went               through               early               2005               playoff               games               with               the               Colts               and               Steelers               with               relative               ease,               and               faced               the               explosive               Philadelphia               Eagles               in               the               Super               Bowl.

The               icily               efficient               Brady               connected               with               receiver               Deion               Branch               for               a               record-tying               ten               Super-Bowl               receptions.
               The               Patriots               had               used               a               3-4               defense,               with               three               down               linemen               and               four               linebackers,               most               of               the               season.

They               switched               to               a               4-3               setup               for               the               Super               Bowl,               confused               the               formidable               Philadelphia               offensive               line               enough               to               keep               the               dangerous               quarterback               Donovan               McNabb               from               breaking               out,               and               sacked               him               four               times.

And               although               Adam               Vinatieri's               field               goal               was               not               last               second,               it               was               the               margin               of               the               24-21               New               England               victory,               and               a               mini-dynasty               was               born.



               Because               of               his               strong               and               accurate               throwing               arm,               ability               to               see               the               entire               field,               and               serene               leadership               under               extreme               pressure,               New               England               Patriots'               quarterback               Tom               Brady               is               often               compared               to               his               idol               the               eminent               Joe               Montana.

Like               Brady,               Montana               was               a               master               of               late-game               comebacks.
               Eli               and               the               G-Men
               It               was               typical               younger               brother               measured               against               a               preferred               older               brother:               Peyton               Manning,               record-setting               all-Pro,               Super               Bowl-winning               darling               of               the               media.

Eli,               the               sibling               struggling               with               fumbles,               interceptions,               and               the               unrelenting               boos               of               a               satisfied-with-nothing-but-victory               New               York               crowd               seeing               too               many               defeats               and               two               consecutive               years               of               first-round               playoff               losses.



               Suddenly,               as               it               does               for               most               successful               NFL               quarterbacks:               Troy               Aikman,               Dan               Marino,               Joe               Montana,               it               all               came               together               for               Eli               Manning.

With               the               2007               New               York               Giants'               record               at               3-5               and               the               season               slipping               away,               a               refreshed               and               composed               Manning               led               the               Giants               through               a               string               of               wins               leading               to               a               wild               card               playoff               berth.

The               regular               season               ended               with               a               road               game               against               the               15-0               New               England               Patriots.

The               Pats               kept               their               perfect               season               intact               with               a               38-35               victory,               but               the               Giants,               who               fearlessly               played               their               regulars               in               an               otherwise               meaningless               game,               learned               that               they               could               compete               with               New               England,               and               the               team               found               certitude.



               Enough               certitude               to               win               three               straight               playoff               games               on               the               road,               with               the               NFC               championship               game               played               in               sub-zero               Green               Bay.

Eli               Manning               outplayed               Packer-immortal               Brett               Favre               in               a               contest               won               by               a               last-second               field               goal,               booted               after               the               kicker               had               already               missed               three               shorter               ones.

Meanwhile,               the               Patriots               won               two               playoff               games,               and               at               18-0               were               odds-on               Super               Bowl               favorites.

(Contrary               to               folklore,               everything               that               happens               in               Las               Vegas               doesn't               always               stay               in               Las               Vegas.

A               lot               of               smart               money               bet               on               the               Giants               and               against               the               12-point               Patriots'               spread               left               Sin               City.)               

               The               2007               Patriots               set               several               single-season               scoring               records:               589               total               points,               50               passing               touchdowns               from               Tom               Brady               (surpassing               Peyton               Manning's               49),               and               75               total               touchdowns.

Randy               Moss               caught               23               touchdown               passes               breaking               the               record               set               by               Jerry               Rice,               the               master               of               them               all.



               A               juicy               back-story               made               the               Patriots               the               villains               of               the               piece.

They               had               been               fined               by               the               league               and               also               forced               to               forfeit               a               first-round               draft               choice               for               videotaping               the               New               York               Jets               defensive               setups               earlier               in               the               year.

In               addition,               they               were               accused               of               videotaping               the               St.

Louis               Rams               before               they               beat               them               in               the               2002               Super               Bowl.



               The               mutual               loathing               in               the               New               York-Boston               rivalry               was               palpable.

Payback               for               Boston's               2007               World               Series               win               would               be               delicious               for               New               York               fans               who               were               also               depressed               by               the               Celtics'               resurgence               and               the               Knicks'               woeful               play.

Adding               to               the               Super               Sunday               theatricals,               the               Patriots               were               attempting               to               complete               the               first               undefeated               season               since               the               Miami               Dolphins               went               17-0               in               1972.

Also,               a               New               England               win               would               match               the               Pittsburgh               Steelers               and               San               Francisco               49'ers               four               Super               Bowl               titles.



               Tom               Brady               is               virtually               unbeatable               when               given               time               to               throw.

The               Giants               had               the               best               pass               rush               in               the               NFL,               and               the               name               of               their               game               was               get               to               Brady.

They               got               to               Brady               early               and               upset               his               game.

Despite               their               sluggish               play,               the               Patriots               led               at               halftime               by               an               abnormally               low               7-3               score.



               Like               most               football               games,               it               was               won               in               the               trenches.

The               Patriots'               offensive               line               which,               up               until               this               game,               had               protected               the               wonder-working               Brady,               couldn't               control               the               Giants               defensive               line,               and               the               Patriots               defensive               lineup               didn't               pressure               Manning               much               and               only               sacked               him               once.
However,               despite               repeated               sacks,               knockdowns,               and               rushed               passes,               Brady               didn't               throw               an               interception               and               played               a               respectable               game               with               the               Giants'               defense               in               his               face               all               night.

(Pats'               receiver               Wes               Welker               had               a               Super               Bowl               record-tying               11               catches               and               was               runner-up               MVP.)               An               early               fourth-quarter               Giants'               drive               gave               them               a               10-7               edge.

With               two               and               a               half               minutes               left               in               the               game,               a               Giants'               cornerback               appeared               to               trip               on               the               goal               line,               and               Brady               hit               Moss               in               the               end               zone.

14-10.

The               kickoff               put               the               Giants               deep               in               their               own               territory.

Eli               Manning               coolly               led               the               Giants'               final               drive,               although               he               nearly               threw               a               game-clinching               interception.



               The               defining               moment               came               near               midfield               when               Manning               slipped               out               of               the               grasping               hands               of               Patriots'               defenders,               eluding               what               looked               like               a               probable,               third-down               sack,               and               launched               an               interception-bound               floater               to               David               Tyree               in               triple               coverage               at               the               twenty-five               yard               line.

Tyree               and               the               laudable               Patriots'               safety               Rodney               Harrison               were               wrapped               like               a               soft               pretzel               as               they               elevated               pogo-like.

Tyree               got               to               the               ball               first               at               the               apogee               of               their               leap.

With               Harrison               poking               at               the               ball               in               Tyree's               big               hands,               what               looked               like               an               apparent               incomplete               pass               ended               with               David               Tyree               crashing               to               the               turf               with               the               football               pinned               to               his               helmet               and               Harrison               underneath.



               Plaxico               Burress               (who               had               earlier               predicted               a               20-17               Giants'               win)               faked               the               Patriots'               cornerback               out               of               his               you-know-what,               and               Manning               found               him               in               the               corner               of               the               end               zone               with               a               half-minute               to               play.

The               Patriots               couldn't               move               the               ball,               and               the               Giants               had               pulled               off               a               storybook               Super               Bowl               triumph.



               It               was               Broadway's               first               ticker-tape               parade               in               many               years.

The               G-Men               were               bathed               in               unconditional               love,               but               Super               Bowl               MVP               Eli,               no               longer               the               castigated               other               Manning,               was               the               main               object               of               the               New               York               fans'               affection.

(In               the               quote               below,               Hippocrates               spoke               of               the               need               for               physicians               to               take               care               of               their               own               business               and               persuade               others               to               follow               and               cooperate.

The               spirit               applies               to               quarterbacks               as               well.)
