Description

The Patriots have won the most Super Bowls this century with victories in four years, and this is a compendium of their best plays

This book does not disappoint as the ultimate collectors item for Patriots fans. It chronicles the most famous moments in the New England Patriots history, including Jim Nances 1966 Sports Illustrated cover; the team taking advantage of turnovers in the 1986 playoffs to make it to Super Bowl XX; and the incredible run through the 2002 playoffs against the Raiders, the Steelers, and the Rams. It also examines Willie McGinests sacking of Peyton Manning in 2004 and Rodney Harrisons six interceptions in the 2005 playoffs. The descriptions of each play are accompanied with game information and quotes from participants, players, and observers with firsthand accounts.
