The Best & Worst Patriots players performances ever!

[RayClay]

Somebody mentioned this in passing, but without a monster performance by Troy Brown, there is no super Bowl.


The Pittsburgh Steelers would not disagree, as the latest victims in Brown's path of destruction to Super Bowl XXXVI. Brown caught eight passes for 121 yards in the 24-17 AFC title game victory, including an 18-yard haul off a crossing pattern on a critical third down in the fourth quarter.


But Brown's presence at receiver — he caught a club-record 101 passes this season — doesn't amount to the half of it. Against Pittsburgh, the catches were mere body shots.

The blows that sent the Steelers to the canvas were Brown's big plays on special teams. He sliced through the middle of the field for a 55-yard touchdown on a first-quarter punt return, then scooped up a blocked field goal in the third quarter and deftly pitched a lateral to Antwan Harris, who raced 49 yards to the end zone.

I think there was a game at Cleveland in 1982 when Matt Cavanaugh threw for about 6 yards.
Bledsoes rookie year in Pittsburgh he threw 5 INTS and still had a chance to win if he could QB sneak it into the end zone but he went in straight up and blew that too.

Curtis Martin's 166 yards rushing, 3 TDs including 21 and 78(!) yards in the Pats' first home playoff game in almost two decades - a 28-3 victory over Pittsburgh in January 1997.

How about Odell Lawson?

Between the lines, probably no running back had better lateral movement.

Just didn't know about forward movement...

You stumped me. 1.8 ypc in his career year. LOL!!
