Vinatieri lining up for a kick against the Rams in 2004 and passing the ball to Troy Brown waiting in the end zone for an easy TD. Everubody was fooled on that one.
'01 AFCC game. the Blocked FG return for the TD. Think it was Troy pitching it and J.R Redman or T-Buck.
If I remember correctly, I think it was Antwan Harris.
Brandon Mitchell blocked it,Troy picked it up and lateraled it to Harris for the TD

Hard to remember all the plays over hte years but this one sticks out above all else for no other reason than nobody else had done it for decades: Drop kick extra point by Doug Flutie
Called cheap gimmick and a way to make a name for himself one last time but one heck of a way to go out!
Fluties drop kick has to be among the top special teams play of ALL the Patriots ST plays - That was fun and is my favorite.
My favorite all time special teams play was in the playoff game vs the Raiders during that magical run to the Patriots first Super Bowl when the Patriots stripped a Raider player of the ball during a punt (or maybe a kick off, memory is hazy at the moment) and it was recovered in the end zone for a touchdown by Jim Bowman.
I remember going nuts over that one with about a dozen friends I was watching the game with, good times; we all ended up flying down to Miami to see the AFCCG in person, the "squish the fish" game..............
