What are Patriots players marquee moments/games?

Tom Brady - tuck rule game. He was remembered for this so many years later. Both by haters and by people who recognized his resilience and poise in this game. Another marquee game was the comeback vs. the Broncos last year

Jamie Collins - Colts playoff game last year. His coming out party.

Kenbrell Thompkins - TD reception vs. Saints last year. No matter what, Pats fans will always remember this.

Gronk - vs. Chiefs... TD run along the sideline when he got flipped over backwards, got up and did the Gronk spike. No Gronk highlight can be shown without this play.

Patrick Chung - vs. Miami a few years ago. Blocked Punt, Blocked FG, and returned an INT for TD

i was looking more for players currently on the team, but I can't argue with that one.

Perhaps Vareens 3 TD game against the Texans 2 years ago.

Edleman becoming the NFL all time leader in punt returner average last year in game 1

Gost's hitting two 53 yard FGs in a row to tie and win the game last year against the Texans

Ninkovich's strip sack against Sanchez in OT to seal the win.

Hooman's first TD as a Pat, a one handed catch in the end zone.

Amendola vs Bills opening day.

Wilfork 2011 AFC championship vs Ravens

I say for Brady it's the winning drive in his first Super Bowl, which John Madden thought shouldn't even be attempted. (Yes, that was a stupid opinion given the amount of time on the clock, but it still underscores the level of Brady's accomplishment.)

And for Troy Brown it was of course the Pitt game the same postseason.

For McGinest I make it the goal-line stuff in Indy.

For Law I'd say the 3 INTs playing safety in the 20-3 Indy game.

For Bruschi the INT/TD that starting the snow-throwing, even ahead of the "I wanted it more" fumble recovery vs. Indy.

For Flutie-as-a-Patriot there can only be one answer. For Flutie's overall career there can also only be one answer, and the two answers are different.

For Dan Connolly it's of course the "Hey Dan, what's your career highlight?" kickoff return.

For McCourty and Marquis Cole I'd say it's the volleyball INT.

Vince owned the 2011 AFC Championship game! A nose tackle took over a game!

Brady's comeback win over San Diego at home in 2001. That is when people started saying, he this kid has "it".

We are still waiting for McCourty to come up with one.

I was coming in to post this one. That was, without a shadow of a doubt, the finest game of Vince's career. He simply would not be stopped... even against a triple team.

As an aside, I punched a hole in my wall in that game as the Ravens were driving for what appeared to be either the game-winning or tying score.

His tip play to Cole in the Miami game is a pretty good one. Then again you think he is a barely average FS.

Does Buttfumble count? I know Sanchez wasn't a Patriot, but...

FTW is a moderator troll when it comes to McCourty. His INT in the end zone against Buffalo in 2012 is another one.

For another former player, David Patten, there are two candidates:

The run/pass/catch 3 TD game, and the reception he made while unconscious. I'll go with the former.

For Patrick Chung, unfortunately, it's the botched fake FG.

I always think of his TD catch in the first half of SB XXXVI. I can still hear the radio call in my mind and get goosebumps.

Ridley: vs DEN in 2012 or in the playoffs against HOU the same year.

Tom Brady's games that come to mind

Tuck Rule game
Super Bowl 38 vs Panthers
2007 @Bills
Divisional round 2007 vs Jags
2010 destruction vs top Jets D (MNF)
Divisional round vs Denver in 2011 (Absolutely brilliant performance in harsh conditions)
Divisional round vs Texans 2012

Brady's signature game was the 2005 AFCCG at Pittsburgh (2004 season.)

Wilfork 2012 AFCCG vs. Baltimore (2011 season.)

Ras-I Dowling 2010 Preseason games 1-4.

2004-05 AFC Championship Game versus Pittsburgh. With a 102 degree fever against a team that blew them out in the regular season and had the league's #1 ranked defense.

Maybe it is because I really hate Pittsburgh, but my favorite regular season Brady game was in 2010 just after Moss departed. 30/43, 350, 3-0. 39-26 win that wasn't as close as the score indicated. Of course you had all of those classy Steelers players yapping about all week about Spygate and talking how the Patriots were about to be exposed. That was an NFL record for most points an opponent has scored at Heinz field.

Even sweeter, Brady hung 55 on the Steelers last year at Gillette, which is the most points an opponent has ever scored against the Steelers in franchise history. And that was with the scab crew of wide receivers.

For some reason the Pittsburgh performances always put the biggest smile on my face. Fan base is one reason. Another is that they are typically a very good team with a proud defense and Hall of Fame defensive coordinator.

Brady's final drive for our first Superbowl win is the top Brady moment for sure. Like someone else said, Madden freaking out about it just made it all the sweeter.

While it was only the Tebow Broncos, the 2011 play off game where he threw 5 TD's in the 1st half, 6 for the game, then ended it with an awesome troll punt wasn't a bad one since a lot of the others have already been mentioned.

The annihilation of the Titans was fun. 5 TD passes in one quarter in the snow
