Score should have been 38-26. New England tried to lose the game - 2 missed field goals and gave Carolina 3 points.

Whereas Carolina played error-free football? I thought the final score was quite reflective of the relative skills displayed.

If Adam Vinatieri had not made that last kick he would have been the goat of the game with 3 missed field goals. The final score was reflective of 2 mid-range field goal attempts missed and poor a New England coaching decision to squib kick at the end of the 1st half.
