Captures, game-by-game in insightful words and riveting images, the Patriots’ indomitable march to their fourth Super Bowl triumph
Â
This ultimate comeback story is recounted in PUMPED, produced by the Boston Globe, which has chronicled the team’s fortunes for New England sports fans since the team’s inception, and never more thoroughly than in 2014. The 2014 Patriots rallied from a humiliating loss in Week 4—which pundits gleefully pointed to as the first sign of their decline—to reel off seven straight victories and establish themselves once again as the AFC’s top team and the league’s model of consistency. This 128-page book also offers perspective on the Patriots’ seven previous visits to football’s ultimate spectacle. As PUMPED painstakingly describes it, their road to Title No. 4 was marked by controversy and seeming chaos, but the Patriots cut through the distractions to do their job, again, better than anyone else.
