Who was the quarterback for the New England Patriots during their 32nd season in the National Football League?
2001 Oakland Raiders season The 2001 Oakland Raiders season was the club’s 42nd season, and 32nd in the National Football League. The club acquired wide receiver Jerry Rice through free agency. Rice excelled with his new team, catching 83 passes for 1,139 yards and 9 touchdowns. None of the team's six regular-season losses and seven total losses were by more than a touchdown. The Raiders would qualify for the postseason, but lost to the eventual Super Bowl Champion New England Patriots in a divisional playoff game. The loss was controversial; with a minute and 43 seconds remaining in the fourth quarter and the Raiders winning 13-10, cornerback Charles Woodson appeared to force a fumble on Patriots quarterback Tom Brady that was recovered by the Raiders, but the play was ruled an incomplete pass. The Patriots tied the game in the ensuing drive and then won in overtime.
2012 New England Patriots season The New England Patriots season was the franchise's 43rd season in the National Football League and 53rd overall. The Patriots did not improve upon their 13–3 record, finishing at 12–4, but did win the AFC East for the fourth season in a row, and a first-round bye as one of the top two seeds in the AFC for the third consecutive year. This season marks head coach Bill Belichick's 13th season as Patriots head coach, and the 11th season in which the Patriots played all of their home games at Gillette Stadium.
