As Adam Vinatieri kicked a 41-yard field goal with four seconds remaining, the Patriots won their second Super Bowl in three seasons.
To suggest that the scoring had started slowly would be an understatment, taking a record 26 minutes and 55 seconds for the first points to be scored. The teams combined for 868 yards (481 by New England) and the game featured the highest scoring quarter ever with a combined 37 points in the fourth quarter.
On the Patriots first possession, Vinatieri missed a 31-yard field goal and with 6 minutes left in the second quarter had a 36-yard attempt blocked. Afetr the change of posession Mike Vrabel sacked Jake Delhomme and forced a fumble. Richard Seymour recovered at the Panthers 20, and New England scored a touchdown on the next series.
The Panthers responded with an 8-play, 95-yard drive resulting in a 39 yard touchdown pass with 1:07 left in the half. On New England's next series Tom Brady's 52-yard pass to Branch with 37 seconds left in the half set up a David Givens 5-yard touchdown catch with 18 seconds left. New England squibbed the ensuing kickoff and Carolina's Kris Mangum returned it 12 yards to the Panthers 47. A 21-yard run by Stephen Davis set up John Kasay's 50-yard field goal as the half expired with a 14-10 New England lead.
Neither team scored in the third quarter, but Antowain Smith's 2-yard touchdown run two plays into the final quarter capped a 71-yard drive and gave the Patriots a 21-10 lead. Carolina responded as Delhomme completed passes of 18 and 22 yards to Smith to set up DeShaun Foster's 33-yard touchdown run to cut the deficit to 21-16 with 12:39 to play. Carolina missed the 2-point conversion.
New England marched to the Panthers 9 with the ensuing kickoff, but Reggie Howard intercepted Brady's third-and-goal pass in the end zone. Two plays later, Delhomme rolled left and fired a Super-Bowl record 85-yard touchdown pass to Muhammad for a 22-21 lead with 6:53 left. Once again missed the 2 point conversion attempt.
New England drove 68 yards on its next possession, to set up Brady's 1-yard touchdown pass to Vrabel. . A direct snap to Kevin Faulk resulted in a 2-point conversion for a 29-22 lead with 2:51 left.
Delhomme completed passes of 19 yards to Muhammad and 31 yards to Ricky Proehl before finding Proehl from 12 yards with the tying touchdown with 1:08 remaining.
Kasay's ensuing kickoff went out of bounds, giving New England the ball at their own 40. Five plays later, faced with third-and-3 from the Panthers 40 with 14 seconds left, Brady fired a 17-yard pass to Branch to set up Vinatieri's Super Bowl-winning 41-yard field goal.
