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.

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.

The end score came out to a dominant 41-23.
