Two question Patriots Super Bowl quiz

aluminum seats said:

I was just saying in another thread, how great would it be if the Patriots won in a blowout. We could all survive the night without threat of a heart attack.

So that got me to thinking, and here’s the quiz, in what four Super Bowls have the Patriots had a two score lead at any point, and what is the total time the Patriots have had a two score lead in their 11 Super Bowls?

No cheating! And yes I cheated using ChatGPT, but I believe the answer is correct, so I’ll post it after people have a chance to guess

I guess the second part is kind of tricky. But your other answer is actually incorrect!

I would love a blowout for bragging rights. But if the Patriots win, I would prefer watching a close game that comes down to the last play. I thrive in living and dying on every snap.

Total two-score-lead game time across all 11 Patriots Super Bowls: 31:14

That entire 31:14 comes from only 4 of the 11 games:


• Super Bowl XXXVI vs. Rams: 21:00 (NE up 14–3 at 0:31 Q2 through STL TD at 9:31 Q4)


• Super Bowl XXXVIII vs. Panthers: 2:10 (NE up 21–10 at 14:49 Q4 through CAR TD at 12:39 Q4)


• Super Bowl XXXIX vs. Eagles: 6:52 (NE up 24–14 at 8:40 Q4 through PHI TD at 1:48 Q4)


• Super Bowl LIII vs. Rams: 1:12 (NE up 13–3 at 1:12 Q4 to end of regulation)


In the other 7 Patriots Super Bowls (XX, XXXI, XLII, XLVI, XLIX, LI, LII), the Patriots either never led by 9+ at all, or their biggest lead topped out at 8.
