Forgive me if this was already posted but I thought folks here would appreciate this, as we've grown spoiled by having so many memorable drives for our team over the recent years... one in particular last week.

Overall it seems like we could find 10 memorable drives for the Patriots alone! (anyone got the time?)
Upon going over this list and seeing a few that had 3 minutes left or more, I couldn't help but think - 3 minutes? That's an eternity! The Patriots usually only need 90 seconds, two minutes at most!
Of course the 2001 Super Bowl is in there - my thought on that was how quickly we forget - that in addition to Brady and Brown, the other heroes on that drive were JR Redmond and Jermaine Wiggins! Talk about guys stepping up big in crunch time!
Wiggins I think should get a hometown hero award for giving us our first Lombardi - and JR deserves a tip of the hat even though he's in the "where are they now" category (I thought he was on the Cardinals but I don't think he's been active all year)
