More history for the Patriots

The Patriots are the sixth NFL franchise to win four Super Bowl championships. … The Patriots are the first team in Super Bowl history to trail by at least 10 points during the second half and come back to win. Teams that entered the fourth quarter trailing by 10 or more points had been 0-29 in Super Bowls. … Teams were 1-62 in the playoffs when trailing by 10 or more entering the fourth quarter before Sunday night. … Belichick joins Chuck Noll as the only coaches to win four Super Bowls. … All six of the Patriots’ Super Bowls under Belichick have been decided by three or four points. … A total of 13 years have passed between Tom Brady’s first Super Bowl victory and Sunday’s. That matches Ted Hendricks for the longest time between a first title and most recent. A linebacker, Hendricks won a Super Bowl with the Baltimore Colts in 1971 and the Oakland Raiders in 1983.
