Which kicker made the winning field goal in Tom Brady's first Super Bowl win?

Adam Vinatieri made the winning field goal in Tom Brady's first Super Bowl win.

In Super Bowl XXXVI on February 3, 2002, Vinatieri kicked a 48-yard field goal as time expired to give the New England Patriots a 20–17 victory over the St. Louis Rams. The kick completed a late drive led by the second-year quarterback Brady, who was playing in his first Super Bowl.

The Patriots had tied the game at 17–17 after Rams quarterback Kurt Warner's fourth-quarter touchdown run. With no timeouts remaining, Brady moved New England into position through short completions, including passes to J.R. Redmond, Troy Brown, and Jermaine Wiggins. Vinatieri then converted the decisive attempt.

The kick was especially significant because it delivered the franchise's first Super Bowl championship and began the Patriots dynasty. Vinatieri had also kicked a 45-yard field goal in overtime to win the 2001 AFC divisional playoff game against Oakland, a moment often confused with his Super Bowl-winning kick.
