It’s amazing the difference 11 seconds can make.

You get to the kitchen just in time to yank your famous brisket out of the oven before it bursts into flames. You snatch up the last pair of Size 9 red pumps before another sharp-eyed shopper rounds the corner. You just make the green light, the parking meter, the about-to-close bank.

Or, you know, the Super Bowl.

On Sunday, the New England Patriots squeaked into the biggest football game of the season by beating the Baltimore Ravens, 23-20. With 11 seconds on the clock, Baltimore’s Billy Cundiff missed a field goal — er, didn’t kick the ball between the big yellow posts — and with it missed the chance to tie the game.

Technically, Shopping Siren supposes, it’s really more accurate to say the Ravens lost the game with those 11 seconds rather than the Patriots won with those 11 seconds, since the Pats were already leading and all.

But I’m all about being positive.

So, positively: Go, Pats!

To show that team spirit, this week is all about Pats stuff. Hats, shirts, mugs . . .  a gnome. Of course.

With the Super Bowl just over a week away, the Patriots are hot right now, so some of this could go fast. May luck — and 11 seconds — be with you.

* Team Gnome, Cards-R-N, $22.95

About a foot or so tall and sporting Pats’ red, white and blue, this little guy is the perfect totem to please the football gods. Also, in the spring he can scare gophers away from your garden. Or rabbits. Or snakes. Something that scares easily.

* Sports Splatz, Cards-R-N, $14.95

Half a little plastic football — with a Patriots logo — sticking out of what looks like a circle of shattered glass. Affix and it’ll look like someone threw a football through your window. Funny! Unless you’ve ever had someone actually throw a ball through your window, in which case this is just a bad 11-second memory.

* Customized glass mug, Republic Jewelry and Collectibles, $19.95

Large beer mug customizable with the Patriots logo and the name of the big football fan in your life. That just might be you.

* Crystal freezer Patriots mug, Republic Jewelry and Collectibles, $16.95

Plastic and not customizable, but a little cheaper than the previous mug and with the added benefit of freezing-crystals technology. Stick it in the freezer for a bit and your drinks will be frosty through the game. (Yes, ice could probably do the job, too.) 

* Patriots pennant, Republic Jewelry, $2.99

If gnomes and state-of-the-art drinkware aren’t for you, go old school with a Patriots pennant. Hang it on the wall or just wave it around during the game . . . really, it’s all good.

* Patriots jerseys, Olympia Sports, $80 for adult sizes, $60 for kids

Look like Quarterback Tom Brady. You know you want to. Remember, he got Gisele.

* AFC Championship adult T-shirt, various sizes, Olympia Sports, $22

Apparently, AFC Championship hats sold out at the Auburn Olympia Sports within hours, and the kids’ T-shirts haven’t come in yet. So, if you’re looking to celebrate the team’s squeak of a victory (11 seconds!) over the Ravens, it looks like an adult T-shirt might be your best bet. Or, you could wait until there’s a Super Bowl victory and buy the winning team’s T-shirt/hat then. I won’t jinx it by saying that winning team will be the Pats. I won’t.

Best find: Patriots hats by Reebok, Olympia Sports, $19.98-$23.98

They’re on sale and if you buy one you get one half off. Score! Again, these aren’t AFC Championship hats, but they’re Pats — logo, colors and all. And unlike AFC wear, which has a coolness shelf life of about two weeks — specifically the two weeks between the AFC game and the Super Bowl — these hats won’t go out of style anytime soon. Consider this your 11-second head start. Grab them while they last.  

Think twice: Patriots Forest Face, Cards-R-N, $29.95

Think Mr. Potato Head, but instead of sticking eyes, a nose and a mouth on a plastic potato, you stick them on a tree in front of your house. Also, the floating tree face gets a Patriots hat. Ta-da! You have a

. I’m sure it’s lovely for . . . something (to show that your woods are rooting for the home team?). But my feeling: Trees shouldn’t have eyes and a mouth. So maybe skip the floating face and show your team spirit with something less creepy.

Go, Pats!
