And the rest, as they say, is history.
Mo Lewis never gets enough credit for being the catalyst for the Patriots Dynasty. Remember how Red Sox fans cheered Mariano Rivera at the home opener/ring ceremony in 2005? That's how all Patriots fans should treat Mo Lewis whenever they encounter him on the streets. He should never have to pay for a meal in the greater Boston area again.
As for Drew Bledsoe? He went on to float on through Buffalo and Dallas for the next five seasons, never coming close to the success he attained in New England. The draft pick the Patriots received in the Bledsoe deal with the Bills was ultimately used on Ty Warren, so I'd say that one also went in the Patriots favor.
Speaking of those Bills, it's been over eight years since they beat the Pats (the infamous "Lawyer Milloy Game", Week 1, 2003). How's about the Pats keep that up this weekend for the perfect 16-0 record vs. the Bills since?

| Don't forget, Bledsoe was an essential part of the Patriots run in the playoffs, coming off the bench in the AFC Championship Game vs. Pittsburgh and throwing a TD pass to David Patten. |
