What an exciting game! The New England Patriot's came back from a 21 point deficit at 27 - 6 to win against the Chicago Bears 33 - 30 with 28 seconds left in the fourth quarter. That was a totally unexpected and thrilling win.
It was no doubt a punishing physical game with precise execution by both teams but the deciding factors were emotion and momentum. The Patriots wanted to win this game more than the Bears. The patriots kept adjusting their power and the game tempo to keep the Bears off their game and it paid off in the fourth quarter with Brady's explosive passes and a really lucky decision that turned a Bears interception into a Patriot incomplete pass.
Adam Vinatieri made a huge contribution and set a new Patriots record by kicking a 57-yard field goal, with room to spare. My guess is Adam could make 60 yds. I think Adam Vinatieri is destined to be in the Football Hall of Fame.
From my perspective it looks like the underdog Patriots are back.
