‘And in the end, the bottom line read the same as it has each time the Patriots have played a meaningful game in the past year: New England, enough, Other Guys, too little. The Patriots haven’t lost since Sept. 28, 2003, at Washington, and what’s more is they’ll tell you they should have won that game (and they’d be right). The Patriots don’t lose because they never seem to lose control of the game or themselves. The guess is that they don’t commit as many mental errors as their opponents, and the fact is that when they do, they pick the right time to do it.’
