Pats didn't win the superbowl so we can't compare seasons....we can only compare the streaks.
I think the rarity would give the edge to an NFL streak if the NBA one was only a few more games....
...but with all the scandals surrounding the NE organization right now (including the season in consideration), I give the "impressive" factor hands down to the Rockets....
These guys are doing it by playing with an incredible amount of heart each game of this streak....they lose Yao and still keep on truckin'.....they look so grateful after each win while NE looked cocky....Not only is Houston's streak more impressive, so is their class.
