Good Morning, Boston.
On this day in 2001 … Adam Vinatieri won his kicker’s duel with Buffalo’s Shayne Graham, nailing a game-winning, 23-yard field goal in overtime to lead the Patriots to a 12-9 victory over the Bills. It was New England’s fourth straight win in a streak that — little did they know — would take them all the way to a Super Bowl title.
Also on this day back in 1773: Samuel Adams and a bunch of angry Bostonians threw nearly 50 tons of tea into Boston Harbor in what became known as — you guessed it — the Boston Tea Party.
