It's easy, and only takes a few moments.the bomb to freeman in the second quarter was a back breaker in sb31... then drew throws a pick, sets em up on a short field.... the game was over before halftime.OK, so from left to right I believe we have Vernon Lewis (43), Otis Smith (45), Lawyer Milloy (36), Larry Whigham (25), Willy Clay (32), Terry Ray (23), Ricky Reynolds (21), Corwin Brown (30), Ty Law (24), Bill Belichick (obviously), and Michael McGruder (27).
Amazing to think back to how close that 1996 team came to pulling off the upset, save for that kickoff return. If that doesn't happen and Drew isn't forced to drop back on every play and get out of their offense with the way Curtis Martin had run the ball that year (because Reggie White tee'd off on him from there), I liked their chances...even despite the Parcells fiasco
That was tough, but they were only down 6 at 27-21 when Martin scored that TD early in the second half. What's crazy is that the defense wasn't playing all that bad in that game. If they get a stop, who knows, it could have gone differently.the bomb to freeman in the second quarter was a back breaker in sb31... then drew throws a pick, sets em up on a short field.... the game was over before halftime.
do love the pic though
Game was pretty much over at halftime. Smoked the Jags. My first of so many AFC championship games and wins but who knew that at the time lol such an amazing feeling and I'd like to think I appreciated just as much the last time.That was tough, but they were only down 6 at 27-21 when Martin scored that TD early in the second half.

But overall, that whole season was a lot of fun, especially the final stretch and the playoffs. I was at that AFC Championship game against Jacksonville and it was insanely cold, couldn't feel my legs on the way back to the car and had pins and needles as they finally woke up on the ride home. But that game was unreal and it was just crazy being there and a really cool experience. Definitely a fun season.
That was a great year to be a Pats fan…even with how everything went down with Tuna and the Super Bowl loss.OK, so from left to right I believe we have Vernon Lewis (43), Otis Smith (45), Lawyer Milloy (36), Larry Whigham (25), Willy Clay (32), Terry Ray (23), Ricky Reynolds (21), Corwin Brown (30), Ty Law (24), Bill Belichick (obviously), and Michael McGruder (27).

I believe Belichick was the DB coach that year, so that might be why it's just those guysWow no Big Mac??
Imagine if the other Bill was the coach.OK, so from left to right I believe we have Vernon Lewis (43), Otis Smith (45), Lawyer Milloy (36), Larry Whigham (25), Willy Clay (32), Terry Ray (23), Ricky Reynolds (21), Corwin Brown (30), Ty Law (24), Bill Belichick (obviously), and Michael McGruder (27).

Wasn’t he the DC in 96? I can’t remember. Hard to believe that was over 25 years ago…the years start to run together lol!I believe Belichick was the DB coach that year, so that might be why it's just those guys
