The Patriots and Panthers were at a stalemate for the first 26:55 of Super Bowl XXXVIII, but Tom Brady finally broke through with a touchdown pass to Deion Branch to end the longest game-opening scoreless drought in the big game's history. That was the beginning of a wild 24-point offensive flurry over the final three minutes of the first half.
After a scoreless third quarter, the game got wild again over the final 15 minutes. A record 37 points were scored in the final quarter of the game, with Brady throwing a TD pass and engineering a final drive that resulted in a game-winning field goal.
For the game, Brady completed 32 of 48 passes for 354 yards and three touchdowns to win Super Bowl MVP honors for the second time in his career. The game, which was described in Sports Illustrated as perhaps the greatest Super Bowl of all time, is fondly remembered years later.

The card comes in a Flawless holder from Panini.
