The New England Patriots’ 2001 Super Bowl victory, led by a young Tom Brady, was marked by strong defensive performances and a pivotal coaching decision by Bill Belichick to keep Brady over Drew Bledsoe. Despite Brady’s struggles in the playoffs, he emerged as a key player, ultimately winning the MVP in the Super Bowl against the Rams. Fast forward to this season, quarterback Drake Maye mirrors Brady’s early playoff challenges but has shown promise, leading the Patriots to a 14-3 record. As they prepare for a Super Bowl matchup against the Seahawks, parallels between the two quarterbacks’ journeys are striking.
