Vrabel may have done most of his damage on the defensive end, but Bill Belichick and the coaching staff started to get a little creative and slip Vrabes in as a tight end in key spots. He scored the year after too in Super Bowl XXXIX, but also got into the endzone against the Carolina Panthers for the go-ahead touchdown with just a couple of minutes left. On the defensive end, he totaled two sacks to help the Patriots to a 32-29 victory.
