An interesting debate among Patriot fans is at what exact moment in 2001 did the Patriot dynasty begin?
Was it Mo Lewis‘s hit on Drew Bledsoe in the Week 2 loss, thrusting then unknown backup Tom Brady into the spotlight?
Or perhaps it was the Tuck Rule game, when Oakland Raider cornerback Charles Woodson appeared to strip-sack Tom Brady on a critical late series in the now infamous Divisional Round game.
You could make a solid argument for both, but I’ve always believed the single play that sparked a legacy of unprecedented dominance was made in that year’s Super Bowl by one of the greatest cornerback’s to ever play the game:
Ty Law‘s pick six.
