The Patriots have chalked up five Super Bowl wins by the skin of their teeth. If you want to see a blowout in the championship game, you’re looking in the wrong place with the Patriots. All their Super Bowl triumphs have been close, and the games could have gone either way.

But the beauty of Bill Belichick’s team is no matter how grim it might seem, the game usually goes the Patriots’ way. Super Bowls against the Rams (20-17), Panthers (32-29), Eagles (24-21), Seahawks (28-24) and Falcons (34-28 overtime) were all decided late.
