It happens much more often than that...

It happens a few times every season and illustrates why the Patriots shouldn't ever be accused of running up the score... a TD here, an INT/TD there and an onside kick recovered and moved in for a TD and before you know it you can see 21 points racked up in a matter of minutes.

Depending on your perspective, sometimes Murphy's Law comes into play... a good example is the Patriots final 2002 season game, which the team needed to win to make the playoffs (along with some help elsewhere in the league)

Down 11 points, 5 minutes to play - from the Patriots perspective, everything that had to happen for them to win, DID happen. It's not as rare as people think:
