2017 NFL Power Rankings: Los Angeles Rams Enter Offseason Near Bottom

1. New England Patriots

Football fans were lucky enough to witness history and greatness all at the same time thanks to the New England Patriots pulling off an epic comeback against the Atlanta Falcons in Super Bowl 51. Most teams trailing by 25 points in the second half would have thrown in the towel, and accepted the loss, but not the Patriots.

Instead of hitting the panic button, New England fought their way back against Atlanta one play at a time to tie up the game in the final minute before going on to win 34-28 in overtime. Tom Brady has pulled off some amazing rallies throughout his career, but nothing will ever top what football fans witnessed in this year’s Super Bowl.

Ever since their future Hall of Fame quarterback was forced to sit out the first four games of the regular season, the Patriots have been a team on a mission to prove Roger Goodell wrong over Brady’s Deflategate suspension. To see New England win the Super Bowl despite all of the obstacles standing in their way at the beginning of the year shows just how truly special this unit is.

The scary thing is, the Patriots seem capable of defending their title next year, and deserve to be sitting in the top spot heading into the offseason since Brady doesn’t appear to be slowing down anytime soon.
