Mental toughness: a question

[Mainefan]

During halftime, some Patriot told the others that they could still win--and convinced them. Most teams would have come out at the start of the second half mentally beaten by their own mistakes and what the Broncos had done with them. But it seemed to me that every Patriot--offense AND defense--believed they could win. How did that happen? Who believed it--Tom? Bill?--and how did they convince everyone else? I don't believe halftime was spent making technical adjustments. Any theories or information?
