Without Adam Vinatieri, there is no New England Patriots dynasty.
The legendary kicker consistently came through in the most clutch situations. Two of them -- the final seconds of the "Snow Bowl" in 2002 and Super Bowl XXXVI in 2004 -- brought championships to New England.
Vinatieri ended his Patriots career with three Super Bowl titles before joining the Indianapolis Colts in 2006. He went on to win another Super Bowl in Indy, where he'd spend the final 14 seasons of his illustrious career.
Despite playing for the Colts longer than he played for the Patriots, Vinatieri hasn't forgotten his roots.
