Going into a season where more than a few people non-ironically expected the New England Patriots to run the table (not us, guys, come on now, we’re realists), the way the 2017 season ended for the Pats can pretty much be summed up as “When life gives you lemons, make lemonade and find someone whose life gave them vodka, and have a party”. Almost nothing went according to plan, aside from Gronk staying in one piece and Tom Brady doing Tom Brady things, and yet here we are, a “football decision” and a few plays from back-to-back Super Bowl titles.
