Over the past two decades, there haven’t been too many stories about the Patriots dynasty we don’t already know, but for younger followers of the team like the writer behind this blog, there are occasional ones I’ve admittedly missed, but maybe you have too.
An instance occurred last week when NFL Films shared the story of long-snapper Brian Kinchen and his unexpected role during the Patriots’ run to their second Super Bowl title.
The Patriots chapter of Kinchen’s NFL career began towards the end of the 2003 season after veteran Lonie Paxton suffered a season-ending injury. To make matters worse, his backup Sean McDermott also suffered a season-ending injury after just one game.
