Utah Jazz Hoodie last two times Brady's team was a Super Bowl underdog.Super Bowl XXXVI vs. St. Louis Very famously, the Patriots were not the favorites in their first Super Bowl. The Rams were actually 14-point favorites for that game, what with The Greatest Show on Turf rolling through the league for the better part of the 2001 season. Kurt Warner, Isaac Bruce, Torry Holt, Marshall Faulk, Ricky Proehl, and Az-Zahir Hakim formed one of the most unstoppable attacks in recent NFL history, and as such, nearly everyone expected them to win. Of course, that's not how it worked out. Instead, the Patriots defense clamped down on Warner and company, holding them to only 17 points. Brady himself was in just his first season as a starter, and wasn't asked to do much more than not lose the game.

While each team scored two touchdowns during the second quarter and it was tied 14-14 at halftime, the Seahawks proceeded to stake themselves to a 10-point lead in the third quarter. Brady, though, had other things in mind. He was intercepted twice during the game, but he also completed 37 of 50 pa ses for 328 yards and four scores, including two in the fourth quarter to give the Patriots a 28-24 lead with just over two minutes left in the game. worked his team down the field and got them all the way to the 1-yard line, but made one of the greatest plays in Super Bowl history, stepping in front of
