The Patriots are on a Roll into the NFL Playoffs

By: Jason Cunningham (12/27/2005)

  Everybody wants to believe the defending Superbowl Champions, the New England Patriots are finished. Not so fast, the Patriots have won four straight games and clinched a NFL playoff berth by winning the AFC East.  The master coach, Bill Belichick is quietly ready to defend their crown.

  When the Indianapolis Colts humiliated the Patriots on 11-7-05, it did not seem possible with a 4-4 record that New England would qualify for this year's playoffs. The Patriots were rejuvenated by the return of LB Ted Teddy Bruschi, who returned from a stroke suffered after last season's Pro Bowl Game. You just cannot count this team out. While the Cincinnati Bengals and Indianapolis Colts may have the flash, the New England Patriots have won 3 of the last  4 Superbowls because they are very good in the NFL Playoffs.   

 Look out for the Patriots, they are coming to cause havoc in the playoffs. The results will speak for themselves. The AFC Playoffs will provide much excitement. Do not be surprised if they the Patriots make it to the AFC Championship game. We are less than a month away from finding out the truth.
