FOXBORO - Contrary to popular opinion, the Patriots are not about to tie an NFL record for consecutive victories over two seasons.

 

According to the NFL, the Patriots have won 14 straight - 12 at the end of last year and two this year. In their ``2004 Record and Fact Book,'' the ``most consecutive games won'' is 17, set by the Bears between 1933-34. Their 1941-42 team, as well as the Dolphins' from 1971-73 and 1983-84, had 16 and the Chargers and 49ers each had 15-game winning streaks.

 

That first Miami group won its last game of 1971, all 14 games in 1972 and their opener in 1973 before the streak ended with a 12-7 loss to the Raiders.

 

They won their next 10 before losing again, but rallied from that loss to the Colts by sweeping the rest of their games and taking their second straight Super Bowl title.

 

But none of the playoff victories in either championship season was included in their ``official'' win total. Nor are New England's.

Lets go Patriots! Tom Brady is the man.

It is impossible to compare the 72-73 Dolphins and the 04-05 Patriots.

 

What Miami did in one season may never be seen again ( the 85 Bears came the closest )

I remember the 52-0 game against the Patriots. Pete Rozelle was so horrified by the score he called the Orange Bowl to instruct the officials to keep clock on running time.

the consecutive wins mark means nothing comapared to running the table

Pats continue the streak. :hat

I detest the Patriots. Mostly because of ESPN.

I believe the Pats won't break the Dolphins win streak

all they have to do it beat the fins...

19 in a row :hat

Unimpressive
