The 2004 New England Patriots achieved historic success by winning their second consecutive championship and third in four years with a 24-21 victory over the Philadelphia Eagles in Super Bowl XXXIX. Led by head coach Bill Belichick and quarterback Tom Brady, the team finished the regular season with a dominant 14-2 record and set an NFL record with 21 consecutive wins including playoffs. The season was highlighted by the addition of Pro Bowl running back Corey Dillon, who set a franchise record with 1,635 rushing yards, and a resilient defense that remained elite despite significant injuries to the secondary. A 2019 Pro Football Hall of Fame inductee and three-time Super Bowl champion, Ty Law was a legendary cornerback for the New England Patriots who earned five Pro Bowl selections and twice led the NFL in interceptions.
