The New England Patriots continue their quest for perfection… and the title of Best Ever.

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (AP) – Perfection comes down to one game now. Despite a shaky Tom Brady, the New England Patriots were still too much for the banged-up San Diego Chargers in the AFC championship game Sunday, pulling out a 21-12 victory that sent them back to the Super Bowl for the fourth time in seven seasons.

The Patriots beat the Jaguars on Saturday making their season record 17-0, matching that of the 1972 Dolphins who ran the table that year (14-game schedule). Tom Brady completed 92.9 percent of his passes (26 completions in 28 attempts) setting an all-time NFL record for the highest completion percentage in a game, including regular-season and playoff games (minimum 20 attempts). His passer rating was 141.4 which is an NFL playoff record.

In addition to the aforementioned Brady being selected the league Most Valuable Player, and Bill Belichick being selected Coach of the Year, the Pats’ VP of Personnel – Scott Piolo – was selected Executive of the Year, and Randy Moss was selected Comeback Player of the Year.

Two more games left.

It’s a great time to be a Pats fan. My boy Tom Brady is the NFL 2007 Most Valuable Player as voted by the Associated Press sports writers. Maybe I should start wearing my #12 jersey to work? :-)

Patriots quarterback Brady rides records to MVP Award

Add Most Valuable Player to all the other accolades Tom Brady has been collecting.

The New England Patriots’ record-setting quarterback drew all but one vote Saturday in romping to The Associated Press 2007 NFL MVP Award in the same manner his team romped through its schedule, going 16-0. On the way to the first unbeaten regular season since Miami went 14-0 in 1972, Brady put on a performance for the ages.

The New England Patriots just swept their entire regular season – all 16 games – by beating the New York Giants in a come-from-behind nail-biter. They make me so nervous when they get behind by multiple scores in the second half… I need to start taking blood thinners before these games. :-)

The Patriots set the NFL regular season record for points scored in a season (589). Tom Brady completed two touchdowns to Randy Moss, giving Brady the record for passing TDs in a season (50), and Moss the record for receiving TDs in a season (23).

For the first time in NFL history there is a team with a shot at a perfect regular season (16-0). This game is being simulcast over three networks (again, for the first time in NFL history – and only the second simulcast ever). During the game the Patriots will break the record for points scored in a season, and Tom Brady will probably break the season touchdown passing record, and Randy Moss may even break the season touchdown receiving record. It is estimated that this game will be the most watched regular season football game in history.

You might think that sitting pretty well atop the entire rest of the league is a non-stressful position… but it’s not. Much is at stake beyond this single season. The Patriots have a chance to establish themselves as the best team of ALL TIME! Those chances come once every few lifetimes for a team. This is beyond trying to win the Superbowl. This is big.

So every game from now on (and there’ll probably be four of them) will be a stressfest. I can only hope that the Pats put up enough of a lead early on so that I can actually enjoy these games in their second halves. :-)
