The New England Patriots journey this 2012 NFL playoffs has been a most interesting one. Tom Brady’s relationship with his tight ends truly blossomed as Rob Gronkowski ha suddenly emerged as the leading and most dangerous receiver and Aaron Hernandez has become perhaps the most dangerous running back. The result has been a 45-10 win over the Denver Broncos in the Divisional Round and a 23-20 win over the Baltimore Ravens in the AFC Championship game.

The final game of the season brings a new challenge. The Giants have the pass rush to force Tom Brady into poor throws and perhaps shorten the window for Gronkowski to break open in the secondary. The Patriots have an improved run defense, but New York has willingly abandoned the duo of Ahmad Bradshaw and Brandon Jacobs. New England has found a new way to confuse defenses though. It seems no one can stop Gronkowski, who has taken the next step in making the tight end a truly game changing position. Of course, Brady still has wide receiver Wes Welker in his sights.

Super Bowl XLVI will certainly be entertaining, as these are two elite passing games. But, the game also has an added bit of importance, as this is a game in which the Patriots could be portrayed in search of vengeance, redemption, or even respect.

New England Patriots History

Prior to 1995, the New England Patriots were best known for their 45-10 loss to the Bears in Super Bowl XX. Then, Bill Parcells came to town, Drew Bledsoe took over at quarterback, and the franchise became a perennial contender in the AFC East. A contender is not a champion, and the Patriots were not able to completely remove the stain of the Super Bowl loss until 2001 when Tom Brady emerged from the bench and became a Super Bowl MVP.

Tom Brady and head coach Bill Belichick have been the only two consistent pieces as the Patriots have three of four Super Bowls since 2001. They have struggled to get back since 2007, after a debilitating loss to the New York Giants, but remain favorites to take the division and to return for the AFC.
