It came down to the last possession by each team.
Dallas had a 3 point lead (16-13) with 3+ minutes left in the game. They were unable to get a first down, went 3 & out, & had to kick it away after taking very little time off the clock.
The Patriots got the ball back with 2+ minutes left. They marched down the field on pinpoint passes & ultimately scored the game-winner on a short TD pass to Aaron Hernandez. Pats win 20-16.
Brady & the offense were frustrated most of the game. But Brady saved his best for last & was money at the end. That's why he's Tom Brady.
The Pats D came up with a huge 3 & out to give the offense one last chance to win the game. They held the Dallas offense to 3 field goals in 4 attempts within the red zone. Don't forget thaty Mayo is out, so this was a solid effort by the Pats D.
Dallas had their chance & blew it. We made the most of ours. Game over.

Nice to win. Nice to beat Buddy Ryan's other kid. Defense played well, but would have been much better if the DBs learned how to tackle. I think the offense needs to get ready, because Dallas just presented the league with a blueprint on how to keep them down.
