FOXBORO — An overconfident stance, sure, but when Heath Evans describes the mindset of the 2007 Patriots, it’s about what you’d expect.
“It’s funny,” the former Patriots fullback said. “I’ve often said — and I can imagine (Bill) Belichick getting mad at me for saying it — but it was never really a question of whether or not we were going to win, but how much we were going to win by.”
Some share the same attitude about the 2016 Patriots. For both teams, it revolved around seemingly unstoppable offenses.
In 2007, quarterback Tom Brady used wide receivers Randy Moss and Wes Welker to light up opponents.
