"Super Bowl "XXXVIII" pitted the AFC champion New England Patriots against the NFC champion Carolina Panthers and it would turn out to be one of the greatest Super Bowl ever played especially a second half that was nonstop action and exciting. The game started off as both defenses were hard hitting and the running games of both offenses were taken away. Tom Brady still remained smooth throwing for 144 passing yards in the 1st half finally the Pats would take a 7-0 lead on a play fake. The Panthers would roar back and tie the game at seven on a 95 yard drive. Never fear the Brady bunch would close out the half with a 14-10 lead, after a dull first 27:00 minutes the last three minutes of the half would explode with points. Starting the second half would be tough as neither team scored a point during the third quarter, yet the fourth and final quarter would prove to be a knockdown drag out fight that was back and fourth. As Carolina would take the lead yet it's not safe when you have to face the eventual game MVP for the second time in Super Bowl history as Tom Brady completed a record 32 passes and he would beautifully drive the Pats with a 1:08 left in the game to set up the game winning field goal. Mr. clutch Adam Vinatieri hit a 41 yard kick to win 32-29 another great Super Bowl win by the New England Patriots.
