Patriots = Perfect
Well, it got interesting for a bit but when the dust settled on tonight’s game, the New England Patriots finished off the first ever perfect season in the modern (16-game era).
- The Patriots got their perfect record
- The Patriots broke the single season scoring record
- Tom Brady got the single-season TD record (he ended with 50 TDs)
- Randy Moss got his single-season TD reception record (an astounding 23 TDs)
A lot of credit has to go to the New York Giants who played their starters the entire game and had a 12-point lead in the 2nd half; all despite having nothing to gain from a victory. But, even more credit goes to the Patriots who, facing their largest 2nd half deficit of the season, rattled off 22 unanswered points on route to a 38-35 victory.
Before everyone starts debating whether or not the Patriots are the best team ever, let’s let them win the Super Bowl. At this point, anything short of a Super Bowl would have to be considered a monumental disappointment for all concerned. Call the Pats the best REGULAR SEASON team ever; but recognize that neither they nor their fans really care about that distinction if it doesn’t come with a 4th ring a month from now.
