Displayed is a signed presentational game ball New England Patriots' football from the team's greatest comeback in history - New England's 34-31 overtime win against the Denver Bronchos on November 24, 2013, at Gillette Stadium, in Foxboro, Massachusetts. New England trailed the Bronchos 24-0 at halftime. LeGarrette Blount was a running back for the Patriots. He carried the ball two times for 13 yards in the game. On his first carry, in the opening quarter, he ran for four yards. Two plays later, carrying the ball from the new England 28-yard line, Blount fumbled, and Denver recovered, eventually driving further into New England territory and getting a 27-yard field goal from Matt Prater. In the second half, the pro football GOAT, Tom Brady, threw for 344 yards, three touchdowns and 31 second half points, and the game was tied at 31 as it went late into overtime. A New England punt was headed near Denver's return man, Wes Welker, a former Patriot star. Welker decided not to catch the punt and waved his arms at his teammates to get out of the way, and the Bronchos' Tony Carter was trying to avoid the ball and the bouncing ball hit him and Nate Ebner recovered for the Patriots on Denver's 13-yard line. With 1:56 to go in overtime, Steven Gostkowski kicked the winning 31-yard field goal.  The colorful game ball sources from Blount himself. He has signed it, in a big and bold flourish, in silver-colored marker on the panel that reads "Patriots" at the top. The colorful presentational panel, mostly in the Patriots' colors of red, white and blue, depicts the Patriot and Bronco logos and reads "Game Ball Presented to LeGarrette Blount/ Largest Comeback Win in Team History/ Patriots 34 Broncos 31/11.24.13 Gillette Stadium". The ball comes with a PSA COA. That season, the Patriots reached the American Football Conference Finals where the Brocos had revenge with a 26-16 triumph. There was no magic for New England then, but the earlier regular season triumph on November 24th had magic galore, plus a stubborn Patriot team whose never-say-die attitude resulted in its best-ever comeback.
