Both teams played it pretty close to the vest and with less than 3 minutes to go in regulation the score was knotted at 17 apiece. With 2:58 left to go Josh Miller shanked a punt (10 yds) for NE and gave TB great field position (their own 34). Brad Johnson drove his troops down to the Pats 17 and Martin Gramatica kicked a 34 yard FG with 0:47 left to put them up by 3. The big play of the drive was a 22 yard scamper by Michael Pittman off a dump pass. Tom Brady got the ball back with 0:36 left to play, but ran out of time as the gun sounded right after Deion Branch was tackled on Tampa's 29. Adam Vinatieri never got a chance to tie it.
