2011 New England Patriots season
The 2011 New England Patriots season was the 42nd season for the team in the National Football League and 52nd season overall.
The Patriots finished the regular season at 13 – 3, and represented the AFC in Super Bowl XLVI.
It was the seventh Super Bowl trip in franchise history, and the fifth for head coach Bill Belichick and quarterback Tom Brady.
The Patriots dedicated their 2011 season to the memory of Myra Kraft, the wife of owner Robert Kraft, who died on July 20, 2011 after a long fight against cancer.
At both home and away games, the Patriots wore patches bearing Kraft's initials, MHK, on their uniforms.
The Patriots elected to wear their Super Bowl patches on the right side of their uniforms, so that they could keep the MHK patch on the left as it had been all season.
The Patriots were the only 2011 division winner that won their division the previous season.
The Patriots lost in the Super Bowl to the New York Giants by a score of 21– 17.
The Patriots, as was the case in their previous appearance against these same Giants in Super Bowl XLII, had a chance to join the San Francisco 49ers, the Dallas Cowboys, the Pittsburgh Steelers, and the Green Bay Packers as the only teams to win at least four Super Bowls( the Packers, who had entered the 2011 season as the defending champions, had not yet won a fourth Super Bowl when the Patriots had last appeared).
Instead, the Patriots tied a then- NFL record for most losses in a Super Bowl that had been set by the Minnesota Vikings and tied by the Denver Broncos and Buffalo Bills, each of whom had lost four.
With the loss, along with losses in 1985, 1996, and 2007, the Patriots tied with the Denver Broncos, Buffalo Bills and Minnesota Vikings for most Super Bowl losses at four( although the Broncos would lose their fifth against the Seattle Seahawks two years later, and the Patriots would lose their fifth six years later).
The Patriots (film)
The Patriots is a 1994 French film by director Éric Rochant which focuses on certain activities carried out by the Mossad, as well as describing some of their operational tactics.
It is a fictionalized account of two separate missions undertaken by the Israeli secret services.
The first part relates the acquisition of the plans of the nuclear power plant which was later bombed by the Israeli Air Force( the Osirak nuclear site in Iraq).
The second part of the movie is an interpretation of the Jonathan Pollard spy scandal.
The film was entered into the 1994 Cannes Film Festival.

1976 New England Patriots season
The 1976 New England Patriots season was the franchise's 7th season in the National Football League and 17th overall.
After a nine- year stretch in which they posted just one non-losing season amid eight losing years, the Patriots turned around their fortunes, going 11 – 3.
It marked their first winning season as an NFL team( their last winning season came in 1966, when the team was still in the AFL).
The team had gone just 3–11 the previous season, and was considered a" Cinderella team" in 1976.
Coach Chuck Fairbanks was named NFL Coach of the Year, and cornerback Mike Haynes was named NFL Rookie of the Year.
The 1976 Patriots rushed for a total of 2,957 yards( averaging five yards per carry) and scored 376 points, both second- best in the league.
The 2,957 yards rushing were the fifth- highest total in NFL history at the time.
The team's 5.0 yards per carry was the best in the NFL and remains higher than all Super Bowl champions except the 1973 Miami Dolphins whose own run game was 5.0 yards per carry.
The Patriots also led the league in takeaways at 50; the Patriots finished third in the league in turnover differential at plus- 14.
The Patriots made only their second playoff appearance in their history and first since 1963, but lost to the eventual Super Bowl champion Oakland Raiders in the first round of the playoffs.
Earlier in the season, the Patriots handed the Raiders their only loss of the season with a final score of 48 – 17, but a controversial roughing the passer penalty on Ray Hamilton on a Raiders drive late in the playoff game dimmed the Patriots' hopes of defeating the Raiders again.
Despite the playoff loss, the team has been considered one of the most talented in Patriots history; in 2004, Patriots head coach Bill Belichick, who was an assistant coach for the Detroit Lions in 1976, called this Patriots team" loaded", a" who's who team."
The Patriots fell 30- 27 in a Monday Night preseason game; rookie cornerback Michael Haynes ran back a punt but began celebrating at the five- yard line and was hit and fumbled; Darryl Stingley grabbed the fumble and scored.
Entering the season the Patriots had never scored on a punt return in any game.
Four Steve Grogan interceptions and a fumble doomed the Patriots as the Colts ran roughshod at Schaefer Stadium 27 – 13, this despite the sacking of Colts quarterback Bert Jones for 40 yards and 179 rushing yards by the Patriots.
The Pats rebounded with 278 rushing yards and four touchdowns( two rushing scores by Andy Johnson, a Grogan rushing score, and a four- yard toss to Russ Francis) in a 30 – 14 rout of Miami.
Bob Griese had one touchdown throw and three interceptions.
Forcing six Steeler fumbles in heavy rain, the Patriots wiped out a 20 – 9 third- quarter gap as Steve Grogan threw to Russ Francis and Darryl Stingley and ran in a touchdown for 21 second- half points.
Don Calhoun's fumble in the final four minutes led to a Bradshaw touchdown, and after forcing another punt with 1:29 to go Bradshaw nearly fumbled away the ball but converted two first downs requiring 25 or more yards.
With three seconds to go Roy Gerela missed a field goal and the Patriots had an upset 30 – 27 win.
The Raiders suffered their only loss of the season in a 48 – 17 slaughter by the Patriots.
Ken Stabler had a touchdown throw to Fred Biletnikoff but was sacked four times while Steve Grogan ran wild with three touchdown throws( to Darryl Stingley and Marlin Briscoe) and two rushing scores; Andy Johnson and Jess Phillips rushed in additional touchdowns.
During the third quarter a Raiders touchdown was twice wiped out on penalties and the drive ended in a Stabler sack on third- and- 26.
The Patriots never got on track as Grogan threw five picks and the Lions, led by running back Horace King and quarterback Greg Landry, stampeded the Patriots 30 – 10.
One of the members of the Lions staff in this game was assistant special teams coach Bill Belichick, who introduced a two tight- end set on Detroit's offense that was rare for the NFL at the time.
The Patriots despite ten penalties exploded to 330 rushing yards( 103 of them with a touchdown by Steve Grogan) as they annihilated the Jets 41- 7.
Alex Karras( whose grandnephew would be drafted by the Patriots in 2016) was working the ABC Sports booth and read aloud Jets coach Lou Holtz's fight song for the team, a reworked version of the US Army's original march The Caissons Go Rolling Along.
The Patriots posted their first win over the Bills since 1971 as the two teams combined for nine turnovers, 125 yards in penalties, and 586 yards of offense in the 26- 22 New England win.
Sam Cunningham and OJ Simpson combined for 229 rushing yards.
Despite 130 rushing yards from five Patriots backs New England fell at Miami 10- 3; all scoring took place in the second quarter as Jim Mandich accounted for the game's only touchdown.
The Patriots were also penalized eleven times for 80 yards.
Mike Haynes became the first Patriot to ever return a punt for a touchdown as he fielded a second- quarter punt at his 11 and stormed to the Buffalo endzone.
The Patriots won 20–10 as Sam Cunningham rushed for 141 yards and a score while Joe Ferguson of the Bills threw four picks; the Bills also fumbled four times while the Patriots coughed up the ball fives times( three fumbles and two INTs).
O. J. Simpson threw a punch at Mel Lunsford and both players were ejected after the ensuing fight.
Battling for the division lead, the Colts and Patriots combined for 35 first- half points.
In the first quarter Roger Carr caught a 22- yard pass from Bert Jones for the Colts while Al Chandler caught a two- yarder from Steve Grogan.
Grogan ran in two second- quarter touchdowns and Don McCauley ran in a score for a 21–14 Patriots lead at the half.
The two defenses then shut each other out, as Jones was picked off twice by Mike Haynes and sacked five times in total; Lydell Mitchell was limited to 52 rushing yards and the Patriots held on for the 21–14 win.
The Jets hosted the Patriots at Shea Stadium and raced to a 10 – 0 lead in the first quarter behind a Pat Leahy field goal and a Greg Buttle fumble- return score, but the Patriots behind Steve Grogan throws to Andy Johnson and Darryl Stingley took a 14 – 10 lead entering the second quarter.
From there the game collapsed for the 3 – 7 Jets as Joe Namath threw six interceptions; Mike Haynes grabbed three and Tim Fox had one, while Prentice McCray ran in two( totalling 118 yards) for touchdowns.
With Sam Cunningham injured Don Calhoun became the workhorse back for New England, rushing for 109 yards.
Namath was benched in the fourth quarter and Richard Todd took over; he threw a touchdown to Clark Gaines but was later picked off by Bob Howard.
Grogan threw for just 83 yards and three scores as the Patriots routed the Jets 38 – 24.
The Patriots amassed their highest rushing yardage of the year as Don Calhoun( 177 yards), Andy Johnson, and Ike Forte ground up 332 yards on the ground.
Mike Haynes also returned a punt 62 yards for a touchdown as the Patriots sacked Denver's quarterbacks nine times, led 31–0 at the half, and cruised to a 38 – 14 final.
With Archie Manning out for the year the Saints wound up using two quarterbacks( including ex-Bear Bobby Douglass) but managed only 236 total yards vs. 220 rushing yards from the Patriots led by Don Calhoun's 113 yards.
In winning 27- 6 Steve Grogan completed only nine of 23 passes but two of them were touchdowns, one to Al Chandler, subbing for injured Russ Francis.
The win was the 100th career victory in the franchise's history.
Steve Grogan had his worst passing day of the season with just 40 yards in the air and a pick amid just four completions in 14 attempts.
Six Patriots backs led by Andy Johnson rushed for 260 yards and three touchdowns while Sam Hunt picked off Steve Spurrier and ran back 68- yard touchdown.
The game ended Tampa's winless first ever season.
The 1976 AFC Divisional Playoffs.
This would become the infamous" Ben Dreith Game" as officiating became a major controversy with numerous questionable penalties.
Bill Lenkaitis had not been flagged for holding all season yet was flagged three times in this game.
No penalty was called when George Atkinson of the Raiders hammered Russ Francis in the facemask and broke his nose; Steve Zabel popped Francis' nose back into place.
There was also controversy over a Sam Cunningham run in the final five minutes of the fourth quarter where he went out of bounds; John Hannah claimed the sideline official moved the first down marker just before Cunningham went out of bounds, denying him a first down.
On the play following this Cunningham run, on 3rd and 1 at the Raiders 28- yard line, Steve Grogan changed the snap count to draw the Raiders offsides, but the Raiders were barking out dummy snap counts themselves and Hannah, Leon Gray, and Pete Brock all jumped offsides(" I should have known better", Grogan said afterward).
On the next play( 3rd and 6) Grogan threw to Russ Francis but Francis could not raise his arms because of holding by the Raiders Phil Villapiano, holding so blatant that according to Francis,"( he left) bruise marks on my arm ... when I saw Phil at the Pro Bowl that year, he came right out and told me he had done it."
The Patriots missed the ensuing field goal attempt and the Raiders took possession.
In the final minute of the fourth quarter Raymond Hamilton of the Patriots was flagged for roughing the passer against Ken Stabler of the Raiders on a 3rd- and- 18 play, even though replays showed no roughing; Dreith said the call was made because Hamilton had hit Stabler's helmet, but replays showed Stabler ducking away from Hamilton.
Despite Patriot protests( Hamilton was flagged for unsportsmanlike conduct for his protests) the call stood.
The Patriots stopped the Raiders on 3rd and 1 near the goal line but another personal foul penalty( this one on Prentice McCray) extended the Raiders drive, and on second and goal at the Patriot 1- yard line Stabler ran in the game- winning touchdown with ten seconds left in a 24 – 21 Raiders win.
Patriot protests over Dreith's call were such that Dreith was not assigned to work any games involving the Patriots until 1987.
Colts–Patriots rivalry
The Colts – Patriots rivalry is a National Football League( NFL) rivalry between the Indianapolis Colts and the New England Patriots.
It is considered one of the most famous rivalries in the NFL.
The two teams have combined for seven Super Bowl victories( six by the Patriots) and ten AFC Championships( eight by the Patriots) since 2001, while both are noted for their organizational excellence.
The nature of this rivalry is somewhat ironic because while the Colts and Patriots were AFC East division rivals from 1970 – 2001( dating prior to the Colts' move from Baltimore to Indianapolis), their intensified enmity was not prevalent until Indianapolis was moved into the newly formed AFC South following the 2001 season as part of the NFL's realignment.
Following New England's 43 – 22 win in the 2013 – 14 playoffs the Patriots lead the series with nine wins( three in the playoffs) versus five wins( one playoff) for the Colts, and the Patriots hold a lead in points scored, 411–351.
The modern matchup spanning the period of 2001 – 2011 was usually headlined as a contest between quarterbacks Peyton Manning and Tom Brady, who together won six NFL MVP awards in eight years( 2003 – 10; four by Manning).
In September 2001 Brady received his first start against the Colts after an injury to then- starter Drew Bledsoe, and proceeded to defeat the Colts in his first six games against them in the next years, including the 2003 AFC Championship Game and a 2004 AFC Divisional playoff game.
The 2004 Divisional game was notable as the Patriots held a record breaking Colts offense to 3 points on snowy cold night in Foxborough.
The Colts won the next three matches, notching two regular season victories and a win in the 2006 AFC Championship Game on the way to their win in Super Bowl XLI.
Since then, the Patriots have won the six out of the next eight games from 2007 – 14.
The quarterback angle of the rivalry changed in 2012 following Manning's release from the team, and with the surge to success of Colts rookie Andrew Luck.
The rivalry gained momentum again in February 2018, when Patriots offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels, who had agreed to become the head coach of the Colts, went back on his word and decided to stay on as a coordinator in New England.
The 1967 football season for both the NFL and the American Football League opened with the agreement for the pending merger of the two leagues already in place.
On August 13, 1967 the Boston Patriots hosted the Baltimore Colts at Harvard Stadium.
The Colts won 33- 3 as Tom Matte scored in the first quarter and the Colts got a safety when Jon Morris blew a snap and the ball flew out of the endzone.
The Patriots and Colts met for the first time in NFL regular- season play at Harvard Stadium in week three of the 1970 season.
The Colts jumped to a 7- 0 lead in the first quarter, but the Patriots closed to a 7- 6 fourth- quarter score on two Gino Cappelletti field goals.
On following series, Johnny Unitas, who relieved starter Earl Morrall, finished off the Patriots with a 55- yard touchdown pass and a 14- 6 Colts win.
Battling the Colts for the AFC East title, the Patriots traveled to Baltimore with a 6- 3 record( including a 27- 13 Colts victory in Foxborough in week one of the season).
The Patriots picked off Bert Jones twice, leading to a 21- 14 win.
The win accelerated a six- game winning streak for the Patriots and their first playoff berth since 1963.
The Colts had been AFC East champs the previous three seasons, but were minus many of their best players due to trades and injuries, including Bert Jones and starting cornerbacks Nelson Munsey and Norm Thompson.
They were 0- 2 and 18- point underdogs when they traveled to Foxboro to play the Patriots on" Monday Night Football".
It was a sloppy game for three quarters, with New England leading 13- 7 heading into the final period.
As it started raining hard, Baltimore came to life behind running back Joe Washington, making his first start with the team after an off- season trade from San Diego.
First he threw a 54- yard touchdown pass on a halfback option to Roger Carr.
Later he caught a 23- yard touchdown pass from Bill Troup.
After Troup and Carr connected for a 67- yard score, the Colts led 27- 13 with eight minutes to play.
The Patriots came back to score twice on runs by Steve Grogan and Sam Cunningham sandwiched around a successful onside kick to tie the game with 1:32 left.
But Washington fielded the bouncing ensuing kickoff and darted 90 yards across the shimmering rain- soaked field for the touchdown to give Baltimore the stunning 34- 27 win, causing Howard Cosell to exclaim," What a football game this turned out to be!"
The Patriots lost to the Baltimore Colts 12- 7 in Baltimore; it turned out to be the final meeting between the Patriots and the Baltimore Colts, as the team moved to Indianapolis for 1984.
It was also New England's last game in Baltimore until the Baltimore Ravens debuted in 1996.
In their first meeting at Indianapolis, the Patriots made their first trip to the Hoosier Dome and defeated the Colts 50- 17.
The win was the second for new coach Raymond Berry, a former Colts receiver.
The 4- 5 Colts hosted the 0-9 Patriots and the two teams lit up the Hoosier Dome scoreboard in an overtime thriller.
The game lead tied or changed 10 times and the Patriots scored twice off Jeff George interceptions.
Patriots kicker Charlie Baumann accounted for the Patriots' final nine points of a 37- 34 overtime triumph that came amid illness to coach Dick McPherson.
Peyton Manning made his second career trip to Foxborough and led the Colts to a 28- 7 halftime lead.
The Patriots, behind Drew Bledsoe, scored 17 unanswered points in the fourth off
Colt turnovers and the game- winning Adam Vinatieri field goal came in the final thirty seconds.
The Colts hosted the Patriots, holding a 10- 2 record to New England's 7- 5.
The Colts earned a 20- 15 win despite 344 passing yards from Drew Bledsoe.
It was the first for Manning over New England after three straight losses and the first win over the Patriots for the Manning family( Peyton's dad Archie was 0- 3 lifetime against the Patriots with the New Orleans Saints and Houston Oilers.)
Week three of the 2001 season, Tom Brady made his first NFL start when the 2- 0 Colts came to Foxborough.
The Colts were defeated 44- 13 as Peyton Manning threw three interceptions, two returned for touchdowns.
On October 21, New England traveled to the RCA Dome and won 38- 17, where Patriot David Patten became the first player since Walter Payton in 1979 to score touchdowns three separate ways: throwing a 60- yard pass to Troy Brown, a 91- yard reception from Brady, and a rushing score.
The first meeting since divisional realignment put the Colts into the now- second year AFC South, the two clubs sported 9- 2 records, the latest into a season two teams with such records had met.
The Patriots erupted to a 31- 10 lead in the third quarter.
Peyton Manning rallied the Colts back, throwing three touchdowns to tie the game, however the Patriots clawed back to a 38- 34 lead.
The Colts drove to the Patriots' 2- yard line in the final minute, only to be stopped on four downs.
Heading into the Monday Night fight between the Colts( 7- 0) and the two- time defending Super Bowl champion Patriots( 4- 3), QB Peyton Manning was winless against New England in Foxborough( 0- 7).
The Colts beat the Patriots, 40- 21.
In the game's closing minutes, veteran QB Doug Flutie replaced Brady, and Colts president Bill Polian was heard in the press box yelling" break his leg!"
2004 New England Patriots season
The 2004 New England Patriots season was the franchise's 35th season in the National Football League, the 45th overall and the 5th under head coach Bill Belichick.
They finished with their second straight 14 – 2 record before advancing to and winning Super Bowl XXXIX, their third Super Bowl victory in four years, and their last one until 2014, when they went through a whole decade of postseason disappointments.
They are, as of the present, the last team to repeat as NFL Champions and only the second to win 3 Super Bowls in a 4- year span( the other being the Dallas Cowboys from the 1992 to 1995 seasons).
Following a Super Bowl win in 2003, the Patriots looked to improve their running game in the offseason.
Replacing Antowain Smith with longtime but disgruntled Cincinnati Bengals running back Corey Dillon, who was acquired in a trade days before the 2004 NFL Draft; Dillon would rush for a career- high 1,635 yards in 2004.
Winning their first six games of the season, the Patriots set the NFL record for consecutive regular season victories( 18), which was later broken by the 2006–2008 Patriots( 21), and consecutive regular season and playoff victories( 21) before losing to the Pittsburgh Steelers on October 31.
In that game, Pro Bowl cornerback Ty Law was lost for the season with a foot injury.
Combined with the loss of other starting cornerback Tyrone Poole two weeks earlier, the Patriots were forced to complete the regular season and playoffs by using second- year cornerback Asante Samuel, undrafted free agent Randall Gay, and longtime Patriots wide receiver Troy Brown at cornerback, among others.
With a 14 – 2 record and the second seed in the AFC playoffs, the Patriots defeated the Indianapolis Colts at home in the playoffs for the second- straight year, holding the Colts' top offense to three points.
The Patriots then defeated the Pittsburgh Steelers on the road, 41 – 27, in the AFC Championship Game.
Prior to the Patriots' matchup with the Philadelphia Eagles in Super Bowl XXXIX, Eagles wide receiver Freddie Mitchell said he did not know the names of the Patriots' defensive backs, which was taken as a sign of disrespect by the Patriots'" replacement" secondary.
The Patriots would go on to defeat the Eagles 24–21 in their second straight Super Bowl victory and third championship in four seasons, leading to some labeling the Patriots of the era a sports dynasty.
