"Johnson provides a look inside the locker room for the entire season. . . . [He] doesn't pull any punches."
--Will McDonough, Boston Globe
"Paxton's snap was perfect. Walter set it down, spun the laces, and Adam stepped up and swung his leg through the ball. As soon as it left his foot, he began jumping up and down. He knew. We all watched, and in a few seconds, we all knew. . . . We had done it. We had beaten the Rams and, as Lawyer Milloy would say, we shocked the world. The New England Patriots had won the Super Bowl."
--Pepper Johnson
When the New England Patriots started out the 2001-2002 season at 1-3 and lost their starting quarterback to a devastating injury, the outlook for the team was decidedly bleak. To win a championship would take a miracle, but nobody expected one--not the fans, not the press, and perhaps not even the Patriots themselves--and certainly no one could have predicted the incredible saga that was about to unfold.
In this in-depth chronicle of the Patriots' mind-boggling Super Bowl season, inside linebackers coach Pepper Johnson takes you from the meeting rooms to the locker room and out onto the field as he brings you the inside story: the disheartening early defeats, the gradual coming together of an entire team, and the final heart-stopping victories that led an often-maligned franchise to overcome adversity and eventually win it all.
Thomas "Pepper" Johnson joined the New England Patriots' coaching staff in 2000. During his career as a player, he was twice named to the Pro Bowl and earned two Super Bowl titles as a member of the New York Giants. He lives in Providence, Rhode Island.
Bill Gutman is the highly acclaimed author of numerous sports histories and biographies, including Parcells: A Biography. He lives in Dover Plains, New York.
