When you look back at the Patriots' unheralded dynasty that spanned nearly two decades, the highs of six Super Bowl championships and nine Super Bowl appearances outweigh any lows.
But unfortunately, dynasties have their share of low moments. In the Patriots' case, the DeflateGate and Spygate controversies, Tom Brady's torn ACL in 2008, the locker room drama surrounding the 2009 team, and, of course, Aaron Hernandez.
Perhaps none were lower than Super Bowl XLII and David Tyree's helmet catch that was a factor in denying the Patriots a 19-0 record and a perch as the best team in NFL history.
