Winning margin has nothing to do with humility or arrogance.
Coming out the next time after a big win and playing as if you still have something to prove to yourself is what real humility is all about.

The golf vs football analogy really does not go.
In golf, a player can (and they have) missed several critical shots on the 18th and grasped defeat from the jaws of victory.
Things don't work that way in football.
5 minutes left on the clock in the 4th, "the right shot" is to drain the clock. Protect the ball and your players... not chuck the ball down the field in big chunks and try to humiliate the opposing team.
There is a reason why teams rest their "star players" before the playoffs. Let them heal and not give them a chance to get hurt. Obviously, the streak was of greatest importance to the Pats and that is why we saw the star players suit up in week 17.
But then again.... who am I to use common sense against an undefeated team.
