Tom Brady's behind was not the only perfect thing on T.V. tonight. The New England Patriots beat the New York Giants tonight to become the first team in NFL history to go 16-0 in the regular season. (The 1972 Miami Dolphins also went unbeaten throughout the season, but played only 14 games.)
The Pats scored 38 points to the Giants' 35, overcoming a 12-point deficit as millions watched one the three channels simulcasting the game (also an NFL first).
Other than the winning record, tonight marked a number of other records for the team: Brady beat Peyton Manning's mark of 49 touchdown passes by throwing two to Moss, landing him at 50 for the season. Moss broke Jerry Rice's record of 22 TD receptions, and the Pats finished with 589 points for the season, a single-season record.
Good job, Pats. I'm sure your cheating ways had nothing to do with your perfect season.
