The favorite's victory over the underdog during the regular season. The favorite’s confidence going into the game. The underdog's intensity. The double-digit underdogs play aggressive, physical defense and outplay the favorite's “unstoppable” offense. The favorite’s coaching staff fails to make adjustments to the underdog’s defensive strategy until it’s too late. The favorite’s offense only starts clicking when the underdog’s pass rush wears down in the 4th quarter. The favorite’s defense can’t make any plays during the underdog’s final drive.

The end of an era for both teams that were on the losing end of these games?

Tom Brady did what he had to do which was 14 points ?!?! If anyone told you the defense was only going to give up 17 points, then you would 100% believe a PATS win.
The f*ckin offense did sh*t, the Giants pass rush dictated the game and Brady & Coach B didn't adjust to it to well at all.
The defense played a pretty good game: That last minute drive was helped by an unbelievable 'helmet' catch by a NYG & Samuel missing a gimme INT...

This s*cks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
