Seven years ago today became known as “comeback day” in New England when both the Patriots and Boston Red Sox pulled off improbable wins within hours of each other.
Lets begin our reminiscing late in the fourth quarter at Gillette Stadium that Sunday afternoon.
With 3:29 remaining, Drew Brees and his New Orleans Saints had just taken a 24-23 lead after completing a 34 yard touchdown pass on a third and 20.
A Garrett Hartley 39-yard field goal would then push the Saints lead to four just before the two minute warning.
The Patriots would get the ball back with 1:13 to go and no timeouts.
