As Predicted The New England Patriots Win SuperBowl
NFL Wire Report-
The Patriots won their third Super Bowl in four years -- 24-21 against the Philadelphia Eagles -- and now they are challenging history.
It was their ninth consecutive postseason victory, equaling Vince Lombardi's Green Bay Packers. It was coach Bill Belichick's 10th playoff victory in 11 games, one better than the great Lombardi. And it matched Dallas' run of three championships in four years in the early 1990s.
"We've never really self-proclaimed ourselves anything," said Tom Brady, who is 9-0 in the playoffs. "If you guys say we're great, we'll accept the compliment."
This one wasn't overpowering, and at times it was downright ugly. But not even Belichick seemed to care about that.
"To me this trophy belongs to these players," Belichick said. "They met all comers this year, a very challenging year. We're thrilled to win. These players played great all year, their best in the big games and they deserve it; they really deserve it."
With MVP Deion Branch tying a Super Bowl record for receptions with 11, Brady efficiently running the offense and Rodney Harrison sparking a smothering defense, the Patriots (17-2) didn't need a last-second field goal from Adam Vinatieri this time. Back To Main
