Thursday night might force Patriots fans to revisit some bad memories.
The Patriots are set to host the New York Giants, who, of course, are responsible for two of Tom Brady’s three Super Bowl losses. It’s safe to say one of those defeats on the championship stage stung more for New England and its fans, as the franchise’s dreams of a perfect season were vanquished by New York in Super Bowl XLII.
Super Bowl quips and anecdotes likely will be shared throughout broadcasts of the Week 6 clash, and ESPN’s “SportsCenter” got the ball rolling on Twitter well before kickoff at Gillette Stadium. To say the Patriots weren’t fond of the tweet would be a pretty sizable understatement.
Thursday’s game won’t at all help the Foxboro Faithful alleviate the pain felt from the pair of Super Bowl losses to New York. Still, the Patriots should have no trouble improving to 6-0 on the season against a Giants squad that will be limping into one of the toughest places to play in all of football.
