New England "Patriots" Vs Carolina "Panthers" High Lights of Superbowl XXXVIII
Patriots overcome Carolina for second title in 3 years.
Adam Vinatieri won the Super Bowl for New England for the second time in three years, kicking a 41-yard field goal with 4 seconds left to beat Carolina 32-29 on Sunday night
Vinatieri earlier missed a field goal and another was blocked. But as he did in 2002 when he kicked the winning field goal to beat St. Louis on the final play of the Super Bowl, he proved he is perhaps the NFL's best clutch kicker.
For a contest that was scoreless for a record 27 minutes, this game was one of the greatest offensive shows between two of the league's best defenses.
There were a record 37 points scored in the fourth quarter alone, and Tom Brady, who led New England on its winning drive, was 32-of-48 for 354 yards and three touchdowns. The 32 completions were also a Super Bowl record.
Brady was voted the game's MVP for the second time in three seasons, At age 26, Tom Brady is a two-time Super Bowl MVP.
The New England Patriots gathered Sunday at the home of team owner Robert Kraft to receive their Super Bowl rings. Players and coaches were to receive the rings at a private dinner and ceremony.
The Patriots won their second Super Bowl in three years in February when Adam Vinatieri capped a wild 37-point fourth-quarter with a 41-yard field goal in the game's final seconds for a 32-29 win over the Carolina Panthers.
The Super Bowl victory was the culmination of a 15-game winning streak, the second longest single-season streak in NFL history, behind only Miami's 17 in a row during its perfect 1972 season.
Each ring is made of 14-karat white gold and weighs 3.8 ounces, making them the largest Super Bowl rings. Each ring has 104 diamonds with a total weight of 5.05 carats.
Thirty-two diamonds representing the 32 NFL franchises are on the top surrounding the Patriots logo. Fifteen diamonds running along the crest of the ring represent the team's 15-game win streak, the longest in franchise history.
One side of the ring features the player's name and number, the Gillette stadium lighthouse, and the Lombardi Trophy. The other side features the words "15 straight," the Super Bowl XXXVIII logo, and the final score of the game along with the logos of the Patriots and the Panthers.
The rings range in size from 17 1/2 for Ted Washington, who signed with the Oakland Raiders in the off season, down to 9.
The team would not disclose how much each ring cost except to say it was more than the $15,000 the rings cost for the 2001 Super Bowl.
When the Patriots won the Super Bowl after the 2001 season with a 20-17 win over the St. Louis Rams, championship rings were handed out during a party at a downtown Boston hotel.
