The 10 best Super Bowl performances in Patriots history

Adam Vinatieri, Super Bowl XXXVI, Feb. 3, 2002: Vinatieri was 2 of 2 on extra points and 2 of 2 on field goals, including the Super Bowl-winning, 48-yard kick as time expired.

Ty Law, Super Bowl XXXVI, Feb. 3, 2002: With 8:49 to go in the second quarter, Law intercepted a pass from Kurt Warner and scored on a 47-yard touchdown return, accounting for one of the two New England touchdowns in the game. It remains the lone pick-six in Patriots Super Bowl history.

Deion Branch, Super Bowl XXXVIII, Feb. 1, 2004: Branch had 10 catches for 143 yards, including a 52-yard touchdown in a 32-29 victory over the Carolina Panthers to give the Patriots their second Super Bowl win in three years.

Tom Brady, Super Bowl XXXVIII, Feb. 1, 2004: Brady led the charge for the Patriots, throwing for 354 yards and three touchdowns in the victory.

Adam Vinatieri, Super Bowl XXXVIII, Feb. 1, 2004: Vinatieri was 1 of 3 on field goals in this one, but for the second time in as many tries, he hit the one that count. His 41-yarder with four seconds on the clock sealed the Super Bowl victory for the Patriots.

Rodney Harrison, Super Bowl XXXIX, Feb. 6, 2005: Harrison completely dominated the Eagles on the defensive side of the ball, intercepting Donovan McNabb twice to go along with one of the Patriots’ four sacks on the night.

Wes Welker, Super Bowl XLII, Feb. 3, 2008: Welker was a bright spot in an otherwise dismal New England offensive output. Just as Branch did three years prior, Welker went for over 100 receiving yards (103), and just as Branch did three years prior, he had 11 receptions on the night.

Julian Edelman, Super Bowl XLIX, Feb. 1, 2015: Edelman led a strong receiving attack for the Patriots, catching nine Tom Brady passes for 109 yards and a touchdown in the victory over the Seahawks.
