New England Patriots 2007: The 16-0 Season
No team in NFL history has ever finished a regular season 16-0 — except the 2007 New England Patriots. Tom Brady to Randy Moss became the most unstoppable connection in football, Wes Welker hoovered up everything underneath, and New England scored points at a rate the league had never seen.
In Go Unbeaten, this squad comes with a mission attached. Spin the NFL wheel, land on the Patriots' 2007 season, and draft Brady (rated 98 in the game), Moss and company — then simulate a season and try to finish the perfect campaign the real team came one game short of.

The story
The 2007 Patriots were an offensive machine. Tom Brady threw a then-record 50 touchdown passes on his way to the NFL MVP award, Randy Moss caught a record 23 of them, and Wes Welker led the league with 112 receptions. New England piled up 589 points — an NFL single-season record at the time — and closed out the 16-0 regular season by beating the New York Giants 38-35 in Week 17.
Then came the rematch. In Super Bowl XLII the Giants' pass rush hounded Brady, David Tyree pinned a desperate fourth-quarter throw against his helmet in one of the most famous catches ever made, and Eli Manning found Plaxico Burress for the winning score. New England lost 17-14 and finished 18-1 — arguably the greatest season ever to end in heartbreak.
