The New England Patriots won their sixth Super Bowl title courtesy of a 13-3 win over the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday night, but this one may be a little bit sweeter than the rest.
Doubted by fans, media pundits and even players all season, the Patriots proved everyone wrong in yet another magical playoff run capped by a victory over a high-powered Rams' offense on Sunday evening.
Afterward, Patriots head coach Bill Belichick lauded the effort of his team, saying that is what makes him so proud of adding another ring to his ever-growing collection:
“But really, for me, it's about the team accomplishment,” said Belichick, according to Mike Reiss of ESPN.com. “That's the most important thing for me – for our team to hold that Lombardi Trophy up and say we were champions. It took everybody. It took the entire team and organization to put forth a superior and supreme effort to achieve that. That's really what it's about – how all of us came together and pulled our weight so the team could achieve its goals. It's what we're able to accomplish as a team that makes me most proud.”
With the win, Belichick joined George Halas and Curly Lambeau as the only NFL head coaches to ever win six NFL titles.
At the age of 66, he also became the oldest coach to ever win a Super Bowl, topping Tom Coughlin, who, ironically, led the New York Giants to a win over Belichick's Patriots at the age of 65 back in February 2012.
