Congratulating the New England Patriots for winning Super Bowl XXXVIII.

Whereas on February 1, 2004, at Reliant Stadium in Houston, Texas, the New 
        England Patriots defeated the Carolina Panthers 32-29 in Super Bowl 
        XXXVIII;
Whereas this victory is the second world championship for the Patriots in the 
        last three years, the first being a 20-17 victory over the St. Louis 
        Rams in Super Bowl XXXVI;
Whereas the Patriots' victory over the Panthers is the fifteenth straight 
        victory for New England, setting franchise records for consecutive wins 
        and most wins in a season;
Whereas Coach Bill Belichick, stressing teamwork and determination, led his 
        players to the best record in the National Football League through the 
        regular season with a 14-2 mark;
Whereas the Patriots' ability to win despite serious injuries is a testament to 
        the coaching staff and the team's desire to once again hoist the 
        Lombardi Trophy;
Whereas quarterback Tom Brady was selected as the Super Bowl's Most Valuable 
        Player for the second time, becoming the youngest quarterback to win two 
        Super Bowls and two Super Bowl MVP awards; and
Whereas all of New England is proud of the accomplishments of the entire 
        Patriots organization and the dedication of the ever faithful New 
        England fans throughout the 2003-2004 NFL season: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the House of Representatives commends the World 
Champion New England Patriots for their extraordinary victory in Super 
Bowl XXXVIII.
