In 1995 the Patriots made their second Super Bowl trip but fell short against the Green Bay Packers in a 35 - 21 loss. However, the Patriots' 2001 season ended in a Super Bowl triumph, where they defeated the heavily favored Saint Louis Rams in a thrilling 21-17 victory. The Patriots won two more Super Bowls in 2004 over the Carolina Panthers and 2005 over the Philadelphia Eagles, and cemented themselves as one of the National Football League's greatest teams ever with three Super Bowl wins in four years.
