Legacy

If New England and Tom Brady are unsuccesful in Super Bowl 46 their legacy which will remain long lasting and impressive, will now have a black stain on it. This will add fuel to a fire that has already been scorched with the cheating incident dubbed Spygate, in which a Patriots camera operator illegally video taped opponents defensive signals. People will eternally say that the Patriots were only wining because they were cheating, which is just flat out false, but people will have their opinions. Lets hope that Tom Brady can show yet again why he is one of the top 3 quarterbacks and football players to ever play the game and come out with a victory, proving all of his critics wrong.

Super Bowl 46: New England Patriots vs New York Giants

In a rematch of the 2007 Super Bowl where the New York Giants defeated the Undefeated New England Patriots, Tom Brady will look to seek revenge on his only super bowl loss out of his 4 appearances thus far. The New York Giants quarterback Eli Manning has had a break out year emerging as one of the elite quarterbacks in all the NFL. With an offense that his nearing the Patriots, New England will have to look to their defense to win, which has performed shakey over the course of the season with exception to the two great performances they have had in the AFC Divional playoffs and championship. It is already becoming on the most anticipated Super Bowls in recent memory and will not fail to dissapoint with these two elite teams led by the outstanding play of their two quarterbacks, going head to head to see who is the top team in the NFL

Patriots vs Ravens

With the Baltimore Ravens advancing to the AFC Championship game along side the New England Patriots it was destined to be a thriller with the number 1 and 2 seeds meeting in Foxboro. The Patriots were able to shut down the Ravens in the first quarter while adding on a field goal to make it 3-0 New England at the end of one. The Ravens came right back early in the first with a field goal of their own to tie it up until a seven yard rushing TD from Green-Ellis giving the Patriots a 10-3 lead. With the Patriots defense working well and the offense producing the Ravens knew they had to answer with a touchdown of their own and with 6 minutes left in the half they were able to produce a touchdown from Joe Flacco to Dennis Pitta evening the score. Recieving the ball at half the Pats were looking to take the lead before going in to the locker room at half. Driving down the field it looked like the Patriots were going to be able to take a one touchdown lead. But with a huge defensive stop the Ravens were able to hold the Patriots to only a field goal making the score 13-10 at half.

The Patriots took advantage of the 1st possesion of the second half adding on another Gostowski field goal, increasing the lead to 6 points. Not wanting to led the Patriots start to build serious momentum the Ravens came out firing. They were able to add on another field goal and touchdown before the third quarter was over taking the lead 20-16. The fourth quarter was an absolute shocker. The Patriots added on a one yard touchdown run from Tom Brady taking the lead 23-20. Then with less than a minute to go the Ravens looked like they were going to be able to push it in to overtime with a 32 yard field goal. The kicker Billy Cundiff shanked it right and gave the Patriots the win sending them in to Super Bowl 46

Patriots vs Broncos

The hype building up to this game between the New England Patriots vs the Denver Broncos surrounded completly around Tim Tebow vs Tom Brady. Tim Tebow has been the biggest story of the NFL season by far. In almost every game he has seemed to perform miracles in the fourth quarter leading his team to victory. He has been met with some criticism however. He has an absolute inability to throw the ball accuratly and does not have the quarterback IQ to play consistently at the next level. This would be Tebow's ultimate test.

The Broncos were able to strike first in the game with a 9 yd run from Tebow getting to an early 7-0 lead. The Patriots were able to come right back with a touchdown of their own evening the score to 7-7. But before the quarter ended the Broncos were able to tack on another touchdown taking a 14-7 lead. Adding on a field goal early in the second the Broncos looked like they were about to start pulling away with the lead. This could not have been more inaccurate. The Patriots defense were able to shut down the Broncos for almost the rest of the game until the Broncos were able to put on a desperation touchdown at the end of the game while the Tom Brady led Patriots put up 34 points. The end score came out to a dominant 41-23.

Patriots vs Eagles

What looked like a tough game at the beginning of the season has become an almost gimme for the Patriots. The so called "dream team" has been a huge dissapointment for all eagles fans and players. Adding to the problem the eagles starting quarterback Michael VIck was ruled out forte game weakening the already weak chances the Eagles had. At the beginning of the first quarter Philidelphia looked the Eagles of old coming out firing and putting on ten points not even ten minutes in to the game. The Patriots were able to fire back at the end of the first quarter with a touchdown from Ben-Jarvis-Green-Ellis bringing the score to 10-7 at the end of the first. With momentum on their side from the late 1st quarter touchdown the Patriots came out firing in the second running away with the game with two more touchdowns from Wes Welker and Green-Ellis. The Eagles were able to answer with a field goal but Stephen Gostowski came back with a field goal of his own to make the score 24-13 at the end of the first half. The second half proved to bew more of same from the Patriots adding on a touchdown in the third and another in the fourth to secure their eigth win of the season.

Chiefs vs Patriots

Coming off of a dissapointing loss at the hands of the Denver Broncos, the Kansas City Chiefs hoped to make a statement in their week 11 matchup with the Patriots. This, however, did not happen. With the first well under the way the Chiefs managed to hold off the Patriots offense and put up the first score of the game with a 26 yard field goal taking the lead 3-0. This score managed to remain intact for the rest of the first quarter. As the second quarter began Tom Brady and the Patriots offense marched down the field like we have seen so many times this year, ending with the games first touchdown, a 52 yard pass from Tom Brady to Rob Gronkowski. This touchdown turned out to be only the begining for the Patriots. The defense was able to shut down the Chiefs for the rest of the quarter while the offense put up a field goal ending the first half with a 10-3 lead. Although the Chiefs were able to stay within reach of the game in the first half, the were not able to succeed in the doing the same in the second. It was all Patriots for the rest of the game putting up 17 more points in the third quarter( two touchdown and a field goal). The Patriots tacked on one more touchdown in the fourth quarter to complete a dominating victory over the Chiefs

New England Patriots vs New York Jets

The Patriots vs Jets is without a doubt the strongest rivalry in the NFL right now. The hype leading up to this game is huge as always but there has been a lack of trash talk even with a Jets coach (Rex Ryan) who seems to talk trash more than he actually coaches. As the game kicked off and the first quarter progressed the Patriots sent a message with their defense giving up zero points while Gostkowski added on two field goals to end the quarter with the Patriots leading 6-0. The Jets came back immediately in the second quarter with a forced safety early to get on the board 6-2. The Jets offense were able to tack on a two yard touchdown run from Mark Sanchez to take the lead 6-9. Running the two minute drill that he has become famous for Tom Brady marched the Patriots down the field. Then with only 9 seconds left in the quarter Brady hit Rob Gronkowski in the end zone taking the lead as the second quarter ended, 16-9. The Third quarter had the Patriots picking up right where they left off adding on ten more point with a Brady touchdown and Gostowski field goal.

Going in to desperation the Jets were able to add on one more touchdown cutting the Patriots lead to only 7 points. Responding well, the offense came right back adding on another touchdown making it a two possesion game.Then with their backs against the wall and the fourth quarter running out Mark Sanchez cracked underneathe th pressure and threw a pick six to Ninkovich securing the win for the Patriots increasing their record to 6-3.
