VIDEO: Watch Adam Vinatieri Kick Two Impossible Field Goals That Started The Patriots Dynasty



On a cold snowy day on January 19th, 2002 the New England Patriots were playing in a legendary divisional round playoff game at Foxboro Stadium against the Oakland Raiders. Moments after everyone thought Tom Brady fumbled the ball away only to have it reversed according to the tuck rule, Patriots kicker Adam Vinatieri was called upon for some late game heroics. Vinatieri came up big to send the game to overtime with a 45-yard field goal in the snow with a wicked wind, and sent the Patriots to the AFC Championship with his heroics in overtime.
