Patriots unbeaten streak nearly ended by nemesis Giants
- 9 years ago
There's an air of invincibility and inevitability about the New England Patriots.
Invincible because since January, they haven't lost.
Inevitable because of the feeling they will find a way - something they did in their toughest test this season, edging the New York Giants 27-26 on Stephen Gostkowski's 54-yard field goal with 1 second remaining.
"You're one kick away from being Public Enemy No. 1," Gostkowski said.
The Giants, who seemed to have New England's number, were poised to knock off the Patriots on Josh Brown's fourth field goal with 1:47 remaining.
But you don't beat the Patriots with field goals.
After Brown made his franchise-record 27th straight, from 29 yards, Tom Brady drove the Patriots 44 yards, converting a fourth-and-10 on the series.
