GLENDALE, Ariz. – As this game sinks in, Patriot Nation will get out their Roger Goodell dartboards, put back on their arrogant faces, and look forward to the first quarterback controversy in Foxborough in 15 years.

In reality, the Patriots escaped from University of Phoenix Stadium with a 23-21 nailbiting win over the heavily favored Arizona Cardinals on Sunday. The Patriots, being nine-point dogs in this game for the biggest margin of underdog since Super Bowl XXXVI, managed to survive the last minute in much the same way they did when they last played here.
