"It's fitting that the new-era Patriots, like the 2001 Patriots that started it all, earned a win they will never forget in the snowy weather. In one sense, this is theirs and theirs alone, a stunning achievement to stand on its own. First-year Patriots coach Mike Vrabel, second-year quarterback Drake Maye, and a defense that keeps getting better and better completed one of the most improbable journeys to a Super Bowl berth Sunday afternoon with a 10-7 victory over the host Denver Broncos."
"The victory is the Patriots' 17th in 20 games this season, a year after going 4-13 under one-and-done coach Jerod Mayo. They improved to 9-0 on the road, and won in the postseason in Denver for the first time in franchise history with a poised, disciplined performance in the high altitude and snow-globe conditions. This has been an almost unfathomably fulfilling first season of the Vrabel/Maye tandem."
First-year coach Mike Vrabel, second-year quarterback Drake Maye, and an improving defense produced a 10-7 victory over the Denver Broncos in snowy, high-altitude conditions. The win secured an improbable journey to a Super Bowl berth and represented the Patriots' first postseason victory in Denver. The Patriots improved to 9-0 on the road and logged their 17th win in 20 games after a 4-13 season the previous year. Christian Gonzalez sealed the outcome with a late interception, following an earlier 52-yard catch by Broncos receiver Marvin Mims that briefly tested the defense.
