"The New England Patriots won their first title in the 2001 season after Tom Brady took over for an injured Drew Bledsoe early in the season. Brady went 11-3 and helped lead head coach Bill Belichick to Super Bowl XXXVI, where the Patriots upset the Rams 20-17 on a game-winning field goal by Adam Vinatieri. Tom Brady won the Super Bowl MVP."
"Two years later, the Patriots beat the Carolina Panthers 32-29 in Super Bowl XXXVIII on another game-winning field goal by Vinatieri. Tom Brady threw for 354 yards and 3 touchdowns to claim this second Super Bowl MVP award. A year later, New England captured its second title in a row with a 24-21 win over the Philadelphia Eagles in Super Bowl XXXIX. Deion Branch had 11 receptions for 133 yards to win the MVP, while Brady threw for 236 yards with 2 TDs."
The New England Patriots have won six Super Bowls and hold a record 12 Super Bowl appearances, tied with the Steelers for most Lombardi Trophies. The franchise reached its first Super Bowl in the 1985 season, losing 46-10 in Super Bowl XX, and lost another appearance to the Packers before winning its first championship in the 2001 season. Tom Brady replaced an injured Drew Bledsoe, led the team to a 20-17 Super Bowl XXXVI victory over the Rams, and won Super Bowl MVP after Adam Vinatieri’s game-winning field goal. The Brady–Belichick era produced multiple titles, including back-to-back wins in XXXVIII and XXXIX.
