New England Patriots: Ranking team’s six Super Bowl victories
By Connor Floyd
No. 2: Super Bowl XXXVI – New England Patriots 20, St. Louis Rams 17
The one that started it all. There’s not much I can say about this game that you don’t already know. I think what amazes me the most about this game is the trust that Bill Belichick had in Tom Brady in the biggest game of both of their careers. That and how the Patriots were 14 point underdogs.
This game truly encompasses the Patriot Way.
Tom Brady was still basically a nobody at this point, the Rams were heavily favored, and more, but Belichick and his “Do Your Job” mantra were able to frustrate and stifle the “Greatest Show on Turf” and win the first Super Bowl of many
No. 1: Super Bowl LI – New England Patriots 34, Atlanta Falcons 28
Not only is this the greatest New England Patriots Super Bowl of all time, it’s the greatest Super Bowl of all time. Period, full stop.
We all know the story. Brady and the Pats are down 28-3 with 2:12 left in the third quarter and launch the greatest comeback of all time, scoring 25 unanswered points to take the game to overtime, the first overtime in Super Bowl history.
When the Patriots won the coin toss, everyone in America knew this game was over.

Brady was as perfect as he has ever been in the fourth quarter and overtime, completing 21 of 26 passing attempts for 246 yards and a touchdown. A major assist goes to Dont’a Hightower for his extremely timely strip-sack on Falcons QB Matt Ryan.
To be frank, this one was a no-brainer. Super Bowl XXXVI will always be the one that started it all, but this game was the one that cemented Brady and Belichick as the GOATs.
