crazy how many championships Boston has got to enjoy recently. Also crazy that, of Boston's four major sports teams, the Patriots are the last to win the championship:

Feb 3, 2002: Patriots Super Bowl Champions

Feb 1, 2004: Patriots Super Bowl Champions

Oct 27, 2004: Red Sox World Series Champions

Feb 6, 2005: Patriots Super Bowl Champions

Oct 28, 2007: Red Sox World Series Champions

June 27, 2008: Celtics NBA Champions

June 15, 2011: Bruins Stanley Cup Champions

Oct 30, 2013: Red Sox World Series Champions

 

Imagine if the Pats had capped that perfect season right between these two.

PFF:

Since Week 14, SEA LT Russell Okung (67th out of 73 qualifiers) and SEA RT Justin Britt (69th) are dangerously close to the worst-graded tackles in the NFL and Russell Wilson is the second-most pressured passer (45.7-percent of dropbacks) during that time.

Britt was the league’s 81st-ranked pass-blocker at his position"

ESPN:

"Does either team have to worry about the officiating? No. ... Bill Vinovich will referee Super Bowl XLIX, which is fine by the Seahawks. He called two of their games this year, against the.Denver Broncos and Philadelphia Eagles. In those games, there were 15 penalties against the Seahawks. Eight were for mistakes such as delay of game, encroachment and false starts. Vinovich let the teams play in those two games. The Seahawks always have concerns about aggressive calls against their pass defense. Vinovich's crew called only one defensive holding and one pass interference in the two games."

Brady and Belichick have won 20 playoff games together (Belichick’s 20 playoff wins with the Patriots are tied for most all-time playoff wins with one team with Tom Landry of the Cowboys...Belichick also had a playoff win as HC of the Browns giving him the most playoff wins by a coach in NFL history with 21)

FWIW, Brady and Wilson both won Rose Bowl w/Big 10

teams, already have SB ring, drafted by MLB teams (MTL for

Brady ; COL and TX for Wilson )

also: neither was drafted in the 1st or 2nd R of NFL Draft (Wilson went highest of the two: #75 overall, the 12th pick of the 3rd Round)
