This week I read about the Brady/Belichick Patriots having never scored a 1st quarter touchdown in the Super Bowl. Like most people, I was a bit shocked and intrigued. I decided to look into each first quarter Patriot possession in any Super Bowl. This what I found.
New England Patriots AFC Champs
Year - Results of Each 1st Quarter Patriot Possession

1985 - FG - Punt - Fumble - Fumble
1996 - Punt - Int - TD - TD
2001 - Punt - Punt
2003 - Missed FG - Punt
2004 - Punt - Punt - Punt
2007 - First possession went into 2nd Quarter (TD)
2011 - Safety (intention grounding)
2014 - Punt - Interception
2016 - Punt - Punt
2017 - FG

BRADY/BELICHICK FIRST QUARTERS-
So, there you have it. The Patriots have only scored 3 points in the first quarter of Super Bowls during the Brady/Belichick era. Add in the safety and they are +1 for points by the offense.

In their 13 1st quarter possessions they have had 9 punts, 1 missed field goal, 1 made field goal, an interception, and a safety.

The 3rd and 4th Patriot possessions in the 1985 Super Bowl were back to back fumbles.
LAST 1ST QUARTER TOUCHDOWN IN THE SUPER BOWL-
​
The last time the Patriots had a first quarter Super Bowl Touchdown was when the logos were fun and the Bledsoe led Patriots were coached by the other Bill, Bill Parcells. After punting and throwing a pick, Bledsoe led the team on two touchdown drives to end the quarter.
