I know everyone points to the week 17 Match-up between the New York Football Giants and the New England Patriots to show how close this year's rematch in the Super Bowl will be. The Patriots will have a much different game plan for the Super Bowl though, than what they did in week 17. Week 17 was about having a record breaking season. Tom Brady, Randy Moss, and the Patriots team all had NFL records that could be broken during this game. Do not be fooled, Coach Belichick is all about re-writing history, and allowed his game plan to help out Brady and Moss. The Giants knew this, and adjusted their own game plans accordingly, to stop this record setting night. In the end though, Brady ended up setting the NFL single-season record for touchdown passes (50) and Moss broke the single-season mark for touchdown receptions (23). Once the records were out of the way, the Patriots turned the corner in this game. With only one record left to break, the Perfect Season of 16-0, the Patriots put a new game plan into affect: WIN. Down by 12 pts, the battle tested Patriots stormed back to win 38-35. This was not the first game of the season the Patriots were down in a game. Cowboys, Colts, Eagles, Ravens...all were ahead against the Patriots, all lost to the Patriots.
With no personal records to set, and two weeks to prepare, I am sure Belichick will have the game plan that will launch the New England Patriots into NFL History: four Super Bowl wins in seven years, and the perfect 19-0 season!
