What if Patriots quarterback Drew Bledsoe never got injured in 2001?

The year is 2001 and the New England Patriots are playing the New York Jets in the latest installment of the fierce division rivalry. Late in the fourth quarter, with the home team Patriots trailing 10-3 and finding themselves on the verge of starting the season 0-2, quarterback Drew Bledsoe scrambles to his right to gain a first down on 3rd an 10. However, he fails to reach the marker after getting tackled by linebacker Mo Lewis.

What is worse than Bledsoe not gaining the first down is him suffering internal injury because of the hit by Lewis.
