#7. January 12, 2008 New England Patriots 31 Jacksonville Jaguars 20

After the Patriots had just completed a 16-0 regular season, their quest for perfection continued on with a Divisional Round game against the upstart Jaguars. While Jacksonville made it close throughout the first half–even scoring first–the Patriots offense was too much to handle.

Tom Brady set a playoff record in completion percentage (92.9%) going 26 of 28 passing for 263 yards and three touchdowns and the Patriots did not punt until there was 31 seconds left in the fourth quarter. New England marched their way to their second consecutive AFC Championship game appearance, and matched the 1972 Miami Dolphins record by improving to 17-0 on the season.

The next week, the Patriots would defeat the San Diego Chargers for the second consecutive postseason, winning 28-12 to advance on to Super Bowl XLII. I think most Patriot fans remember what happened in that game…
