I think first opening home loss at that particular stadium? They play somewhere else besides Foxboro before?

Niners, I'll see your win in Green Bay and raise you one in New England.

Yeah. I still call it Foxboro, instead of Gillette Stadium. My bad.

Road win, quality opponent, 10am local time start
There were times when a road game vs a good team starting at 10am meant "ugly, ugly loss".

In Gillette stadium, not ever. Still a great win, no matter how stressful that last minute was.

Given the way they lost it, the Pats should be forced to wear the original helmets with the cartoon minuteman dude centering the pigskin.

Your thread title is fairly low key. Freaking phenomenal road win.

The understatement was intentional.
There are no ugly wins.

It's time to savor the win instead of looking at the negatives. The Cardinals beat the Seahawks and New England to open the season and are now 2-0. Wow. Again the Cardinals just beat New England on the road. The constant has been the defense. Something to build off of, especially carrying over last seasons win streak.

Great win Cards. I enjoyed watching Tom Brady look confused and take a loss.
Congrats!

Well played sir.
I did get a bit giddy in the 3rd qtr when the lead reached 20-12. I hoped we could get at least a FG but felt this D would not allow a TD and 2 pt conversion.
The R Williams fumble was devastating and actually did come as a bit of a surprise because I thought the Cards had crossed that hurdle. There it was though and it felt so much like SOC's.
Of course that was in the heat of the moment as this game was nothing like SOC's. A D that pretty much owned a top 3 offense in the league is not something we have ever done.
I said to my wife that the heralded Cards FG blocking unit will make a play. While we didn't actually block the kick we have seen in recent years what CC and DRC which now is Peterson has caused kickers to pull kicks.
I think most of us feel this was a very well earned win and not just some lucky break at the end.
