New England Patriots fans are new to this feeling, but Auburn football fans have been scarred over the last 12 years by the mortal enemy Alabama Crimson Tide winning the National Championship in half of those seasons.
Patriots fans have been used to bullying their supposed “rivals” in the form of the New York Jets, Buffalo Bills, Miami Dolphins, and even many of Peyton Manning’s teams throughout the 2000s. Now, with Tom Brady taking Rob Gronkowski with him to Tampa Bay and winning a seventh Super Bowl ring, Bill Belichick is now on the defensive like never before.
