They’re 17-3. And had the best point differential in the AFC. And have beaten three top-10 defenses in a row, including two of the absolute best the last two weeks, including Denver in Denver. At some point, maybe it ain’t luck.
This is unprecedented. A first-year head coach. A QB in his 2nd NFL season.
Straight to the Super Bowl.
2025 Patriots. That’s the list.
Drake Maye — youngest QB to reach a Super Bowl since Dan Marino.
Mike Vrabel — Super Bowl as a player and head coach for the same franchise.
Robert Kraft belongs in the Hall. Period.
Defense carried this run.
26 points allowed in 3 playoff games.
Only the 2000 Ravens were better.
Beat the #1, #2, and #5 defenses on the road.
After a 13-loss season.
10–7 in Denver to punch the ticket.
12 Super Bowl appearances.
A chance for win #7.
Spare me the “schedule” talk.
This is toughness. This is culture. This is New England.
See you in two Sundays. 🏆

The Patriots are the first team in NFL history to beat three top-5 total defenses in the playoffs.
• Los Angeles Chargers (#5)
• Houston Texans (#1)
• Denver Broncos (#2)
Tough day for the “schedule” narrative…
49ers theoretically could play their next five games at home, culminating in Super Bowl LX.
