Sincere Congratulations to the Patriots
By now whether your a football fan or not, you are aware that impressive streak that the New England Patriots are on. Within 2 weeks, the New England Patriots could become only the second team in NFL history to complete an undefeated season. While the 72 Dolphins were the first team to go undefeated the Patriots are doing something the dolphins couldn't dream of......going undefeated with style.
Don't misunderstand, what the Miami Dolphins did was truely phenominal, but they were nowhere near as increidble to watch as the 2007 New England Patriots. While the Pariots are lead Tom Brady (if your not aware he's like a Johnny Unitas Joe Namath love child) the Miami Dolphins made do with their backup quarterback Earl Morrall from the 5th game to the Super Bowl. While Morrall's ability to step in and the lead the team to the Super Bowl undefeated was impressive it was no where near as fun to watch the 72 dolphins as the Patriots. Instead of superstars like Randy Moss hauling in 60 yard passes from a future Hall of Fame QB, the dolphins ground out victory after victory with a no name defense and hard hitting short yardage gaining runningbacks.
The Patriots on the other hand are seemingly unstoppable. Their games are blowouts, and their scores amazing to watch. With style, the 2007 Patriots could walk into the history books as only the 2nd team in History to go undefeated for an entire season. Below is a list of other team and individual records they have set this season.
5. 108 yards, the NFL record for longest Kick Return set by Ellis Hobbs
4. 50 the number of touchdowns thrown by Tom Brady shattering Payton Manning's 2004 season record.
3. 23 The number of TD receptions by Randy Moss, beating Jerry Rice for the most TD receptions in a season.
2. 589. That's the number of points the New England Patriots offense set this season, breaking the record of 556 set by Minnesota in 1998.
1. $500,000.00 the biggest fine in NFL history levied against the New England Patriots Head Coach Bill Belichick for cheating during week 1 of the 2007 season.
Congratulations New England on your many records.
