Here are a few shots from the home opener against the Colts on September 4, 2004.  The Patriots raised their second Superbowl championship banner to the delight of the Gillette faithful prior to the game.  The Patriots won their sixteenth game in a row (including playoffs) by fending off a late Colts drive to win, 27-24.
