This is going to be a huge task, but that's what we all want in New England. In order to be considered the greatest NFL franchise you have to take the hard road. I have nothing but respect for other the remaining 3 teams. You don't reach Championship Sunday without being elite. If Tom Brady is going to win ring No. 6, he is going to earn it.
