Patriots Remain Giants With 16 Wins On A Row!
Patriots have made me a strong fan and I've got to mention the team's huge 38-35 victory over the New York Giants last night. Their win was No. 16 this season -- a perfect season.
The Brady-Moss combination ended Saturday night where no other quarterback-wide receiver duo ever has: fittingly, on a new page in the NFL record book, along with the rest of their unbeaten Patriots teammates after winning a hard-hitting 38-35 shootout against New York. "Whatever they were, I'm happy they got them," coach Bill Belichick said about the handful of records his team broke. "But I'm more happy for the team."
By throwing two touchdown passes to Moss, Brady took over the single-season TD mark at 50 from Peyton Manning and helped his sidekick wrestle the single-season TD reception record away from Jerry Rice with 23. The record-setting connection came on a 65-yard strike up the right sideline, just one play after Brady underthrew a wide-open Moss at close to the same spot. But the second time was magic. "I just tried to redeem myself," Brady said, "and threw it as far as I could."As for who gets to keep the record-setting ball, Brady added, "Good question. The highest bidder, I guess. But he's got his hands on it now." "I told him," said Moss, with a devilish smile, "I'll give my kids half and you give your son half."
And just for good measure, New England added another score after that to burnish its 16-0 record and finish the regular season with a staggering 589 points, obliterating the single-season NFL scoring record of 556 that belonged to the 1998 Minnesota Vikings. "I still think it's hard to throw one touchdown, I really do," Manning said recently. "We've had some games where we've thrown one around here, and it's hard to get it in the end zone. So for him to be on pace for whatever it is," he said, "is a great accomplishment. "And when it happens," he added, "I'll call and congratulate him." Better pick up the phone fast, Peyton. Brady's line is going to be busy for some time to come.
My stay in New England has created me a huge NFL fan as the local team is a huge blockboster here. I am gonna buy a PAT Cap 2moro for sure.
Congratulation Patriots, but the season isn't over yet. 16-0 is great, but it's not as great as winning a Super Bowl trophy. We need that trophy to really cap off this great regular season.
Going 16-0 and recording the first unbeaten regular season since the 1972 Miami Dolphins is truly historic. The Giants made them earn it, opening a 28-16 lead, but the Patriots showed why they are a great team. They are an easy team to hate, but you still have to tip your cap to them for a great achievement.
