With five minutes left in Sunday's game, the New England Patriots were down to the Dallas Cowboys, 16-13, following a Dan Bailey 26-yard field goal. But that was exactly the situation Tom Brady wanted, though it took two drives to get it done. On the second one, Brady had 2:31 left on the clock and 80 yards to go. The drive began and ended with passes to Aaron Hernandez, the latter an eight-yard reception.
