News -- New England Patriots (2)

Crunch Time. Again, I bore this blog with Patriots mumbo jumbo glory talk but I find myself SUPER anxious for the next Pats game as soon as the last one ends. The setting for this final game is like a movie. Let me explain...

For those of you who don't get it or don't know yet, here is a little run down of all the potential NFL records that the Patriots and their players have left on the table for the last game of the season at The Meadowlands in the Dirty Jerz.

1. Obviously, the Patriots can become the second team in history to win out an entire regular season. Not since some lame bunch of dudes under Don Shula in Miami has a team gone undefeated through the regular season (1972 Dolphins). One win away, the Pats can join this incredibly exclusive club.
2. Tom Brady is 2 touchdown passes away from holding the single season touchdown record held currently by Peyton Manning (49). Tom is already tied with Dan Marino at 48 and looked poised today vs. the Dolphins to take the record but had a bad second half. It's down to the wire now.
3. Randy Moss needs 2 touchdown catches to pass Jerry Rice for a single season record (23 total).
4. The Pats as a team need ONE more touchdown to pass the 1984 Dolphins most touchdowns in a single season -- a mark that my beloved Rams narrowly failed to accomplish 6 years ago.

That about rounds it out. All this together is a pretty great scenario for an epic game. Haters take notice -- this is a monumental moment not only for the New England Patriots but for the history of this sport. So, get your self out to a bar (because I know no one actually has a NFL Network subscription) and check out a piece of history. Hopefully it won't be 10 degrees and raining so that all record hopes are lost and its a 6-0 Giants win. THAT would be terrible.
