New exhibit honors Patriots streak
A new exhibit opened at the Pro Football Hall of Fame on Thursday that chronicles the New England Patriots’ record winning streak. The Patriots won an NFL record 21 straight games during the 2003 and 2004 NFL seasons that also included playoff wins.
The winning streak began on October 5, 2003 as New England defeated the Tennessee Titans, 38-30 and continued through the team’s 13-7 victory over the New York Jets on October 24, 2004.
The new display is highlighted by a game ball from each of the wins. The 21 footballs were donated to the Hall of Fame by the New England Patriots.
