The Patriots absorbed Eli's best impersonation of Peyton, made the proper adjustments, dug in deep and accomplished one of professional sports greatest feats. Going undefeated in in any sport has become once in a generation. It's much more difficult than winning the Super Bowl. The Pats already have 3 of those and perhaps one more next month.
Of course if they don't win the big game, this team will be known for its infamy. This version of the Pats is everything a team should be-smart, aggressive, talented and most importantly humble. They encountered everything this season except losing. They crushed teams, struggled against some teams and outwitted others. But above all they have done it all with complete humility. This may be their greatest asset- it keeps them hungry and they may not believe all of their press. Remember the '86 Bears- arrogant! This along with some trades was their undoing. Not these Pats-even Randy Moss is a model player.
The only two common denominators through all of their Super Bowl victories have been Belichick and Brady. On field personnel changes and assistant coaches come and go, but the victories keep piling up. Only three more to go!
