This season, the New England Patriots were on a mission to make history.  In Week 1, they tried to get away with cheating by filming the opposing team’s sidelines, but they were caught, forcing them to play by the rules for the remainder of the season.

In Week 8, they tried to pretend they were not running up the score, but common sense said otherwise as the Patriots opted to go for a first down on a 4th down in a game they led 45-0 late in the final quarter. 

Then in Super Bowl 42, New England attempted to reach perfection, but they were defeated by the New York Giants. The Patriots did not reach 19-0, but they did make history as the first franchise ever to go undefeated throughout a regular season only to lose in the Super Bowl.
