Patriots Mark 25 Years Since 2001 Dynasty Launch With Vinatieri Honor

The New England Patriots are celebrating the 25th anniversary of their 2001 championship season with a special event at Gillette Stadium on October 11. Owner Robert Kraft will honor the original roster and present Adam Vinatieri with his Pro Football Hall of Fame ring. The event coincides with a game against the Las Vegas Raiders, the team the Patriots defeated in the 'Snow Bowl' to begin their historic run. Kraft reflects on how that season, marked by key decisions like drafting Tom Brady and sticking with him over Drew Bledsoe, established the foundation for the franchise's subsequent dominance and massive valuation increase.
