You play enough big games, you choke sometimes yourself.

Chargers in 2006 was another choke against the Patriots.

But, the Patriots were well ahead of the Colts in 2006 AFCCG, were leading the Giants with under a minute in 2007, a Wes Welker drop from a SB ring in 2011, it happens.

Can't see how you label the Eagles a choke. Patriots had a 10 point lead late in the 4th quarter. As for Carolina, Patriots had a 2 score lead there as well--and this is AFTER Adam Vinatieri misses 2 FGs, including a chip shot. The FG Baltimore missed would have tied the game. And, while Seattle choked bigtime, people forget two things: the miracle 50 yard catch before the set of downs at the goaline, and the fact that the Patriots had actually practiced that play with Malcolm Butler just before the SB. They were ready for it. Doesn't mean Carroll had to run it, but the Patriots were looking for it. The Seahawks were very fortunate to even be down there.

This stuff definitely goes both ways.

Last night was even more improbable though than the Seahawks game. It wasn't just one play that had to go right, but a good many others. A string of fortunate occurrences.
