A four-year letterman from the University of Georgia, Seymour finished his rookie season with the Patriots just three years ago, placing second among the team's defensive linemen with 44 tackles, including 25 solo. Seymour had a personal historical moment in 2004, when he registered his first career touchdown after he scooped up a Drew Bledsoe fumble and rumbled 68 yards for the game-clinching score in the fourth quarter against the Bills. It's impressive play like this that leaves Patriots fans and NFL followers hungry for more inside information on this super-sized, high-powered defensive tackle nicknamed "Big-Sey." To give fans more of what they want, Seymour made a big career play by launching a bold, newly redesigned personal web site that showcases his achievements and accurately reflects his persona on and off the football field.

However, to counteract the offensive prowess of the Patriots, the '72 Dolphins defense gave up 50 percent fewer points than the '07 Patriots, giving the Dolphins a slight edge. The teams both enjoyed greater net yardage than their opponents by almost the same amount ('07 Patriots +123 yards vs. '72 Dolphins +124 yards).
