BLOOMINGTON, Minn. — The Patriots are addicted to winning.
Tom Brady, Bill Belichick and Robert Kraft were cast under a spell with that first Super Bowl victory 16 years ago, according to former Pats linebacker Tedy Bruschi. Their constant pursuit of the apex of the football world hasn’t dissipated.
With a victory in Super Bowl LII tonight against the Philadelphia Eagles, Brady would stand alone: The only NFL player with six championship rings. It would be Brady and everyone else (Charles Haley also has five).
Then there’s Belichick, already the only head coach in NFL history to win five Super Bowls.
