Tom Brady and Bill Belichick have helped the Patriots become arguably the greatest dynasty in sports history.

The duo has won the Super Bowl five times and can make it six with another win against the Eagles in the big game on Sunday.  As dominant as the Patriots have been during their run with Brady and Bill, though, the Super Bowl's they've been in have all been close, whether they come out on the winning or losing end.

Last year, for example, the Patriots were down 28-3 and had to come back to win the game.  In the Super Bowl against Seattle, New England also had to come back in the fourth quarter to get the win.

 

 

It don't mean a thing, if you don't win that ring 🏆

In Super Bowl 52, the Patriots came out of the gates faster than normal which is a surprise considering they only scored three points, but that's three points more than the team has ever scored in the first quarter of a Super Bowl in the Bill and Brady era.

Isn't that stat insane?  You'd think with Brady back there, the Patriots could have at least gotten into field goal ranger in the first quarter of a Super Bowl and cashed in, but until Super Bowl 52, they hadn't been able to do so.
Plus, at least they ended that streak before this field goal attempt later in the quarter.
