Brady's calm leadership fuels Patriots Super Bowl victory
Tom Brady earned MVP honors as the Patriots defeated the Rams 20 to 17 in New Orleans. The 24-year-old former fourth-stringer led a cautious, efficient offense, guided by a resilient defense and special teams, to overcome doubts and win New England's first NFL title. Brady rose from Week 2 replacement to Super Bowl hero, after Bledsoe's injury and a late-season turnaround.
