HOUSTON _ Super Bowl XXXVIII deserved an R rating, but not for the partial displays of nudity that took place during halftime.
No, this R was for riveting.
In a Super Bowl that will long be remembered as one of the best, the New England Patriots got a 41-yard field goal from Adam Vinatieri with just four seconds remaining Sunday night to pull out a 32-29 victory over the Carolina Panthers.
It marked the second time in three years that Vinatieri had delivered a field goal that gave the Patriots a Super Bowl victory. He kicked a 48-yarder to beat the St. Louis Rams two years ago.
The Patriots (17-2) finished their season with 15 consecutive victories.
Though the Patriots walked away with another title, the Panthers walked out of Reliant Stadium knowing they belonged in this Super Bowl.
