I think you got your Super Bowls mixed up, Mike. The one where Madden wanted the Patriots to play for OT was the first one against the Rams (that was also the last Summerall-Madden game). After the Panthers tied the game, John Kasay kicked the ball out of bounds so Brady started at the 40 yard line and got NE into FG range.

That was a very sad moment for me. You can clearly see his plant foot slipping as he kicks. And then, at the moment when the defense needed to be its best and most aggressive, they played back and let Brady just move the 40 yards he needed
Yeah, for a neutral, it was a bummer of an ending because no Super Bowl had gone to OT at that point, and who knows what the Panthers would have done if NE was starting at their 25 instead.

Yep, I got the Super Bowls crossed up. Thanks for the catch!
