New NFL Films Show Takes In-Depth Look At Patriots' Comeback Victory In Super Bowl LI

NFL Films' "Do Your Job, Part 2," debuts Sunday night on NBC and takes an in-depth look at the Patriots' "incredible comeback victory over the Falcons in Super Bowl LI," according to Ben Volin of the BOSTON GLOBE. The Patriots' coaching staff "found new ways to astound" NFL Films Coordinating Producer Ken Rodgers, who also spent the entire '09 season "embedded with the Patriots." Rodgers said, "It’s amazing to me how many plays were thought about beforehand. What schemes were thought about beforehand, situations that were thought about, in a way I’m not sure I’ve seen a staff think about a game, in the history of the National Football League. When you follow their thought process of going through this comeback, and see how all of the tumblers had to fit perfectly in order for the comeback to happen, you’re really left with a viewpoint on a collective genius." "Do Your Job, Part 2" premieres Sunday at 7:00pm ET, and "features interviews" with coach Bill Belichick, Owner Robert Kraft, Dir of Football Research Ernie Adams and the "entire coaching staff." NFL Films "Top 10" Producer Rob Gill said, "We actually make the joke in the show that a few more years here and we can just do a ‘Top 10: Brady Super Bowl’ show." Volin writes the film, narrated by actor Edward Norton, is a "football coach’s dream." NFL Films "gathered more than 20 hours of interviews in two days at Gillette Stadium in May, including almost four hours from Belichick himself." There is also an "interesting profile" of Dir of Player Personnel Nick Caserio and "all of the different hats he wears." Rodgers said of Caserio, "I don’t think many people realize that his role is bigger on game day than any other GM in the league, and that’s going to be a real revelation to fans" (BOSTON GLOBE, 8/30).
