1. 2014 Divisional Round

The Patriots’ thrilling 35-31 victory over the Baltimore Ravens will forever be remembered as one of the best games in Patriots’ history. That would not be the case if it weren’t for LaFell making the game-winning touchdown catch.

Moreover, LaFell securing that catch as he crossed the goal line gave Brady more career playoff touchdown passes than Joe Montana, so LaFell scored big points with Patriots fans for aiding Brady in that feat.

On the night, LaFell caught five passes for 62 yards and that touchdown. It was the magnitude of the touchdown that makes this LaFell’s best moment as a Patriot. Remember, the Patriots clawed back from not just one, but two 14-point deficits to emerge victorious and advance.

We hope that LaFell finds employment elsewhere in the league and has success. He was nothing but an excellent football player and a class act in New England, even if his 2015 season was disappointing.
