"The New England Patriots are back in the Super Bowl, much to the chagrin of the rest of the league. The Patriots defeated the Denver Broncos 10-7 in a snowy AFC Championship Game to clinch their spot in Super Bowl 60 in Santa Clara, Calif. It was an incredible turnaround for the Patriots, who had an abysmal 2024. It certainly helps that quarterback Drake Maye has played at an NFL MVP level throughout the year."
"Vrabel, following his stunning firing by the Tennessee Titans, has led the team he used to play for back to the Super Bowl in his first year on the job. It's no secret that the Patriots have gotten this far thanks to Vrabel's specialty: a dominant defense. Maye has not played his best this postseason, but the defense has more than made up for it."
The New England Patriots beat the Denver Broncos 10-7 in a snowy AFC Championship Game to clinch a spot in Super Bowl 60 in Santa Clara, Calif. The turnaround follows an abysmal 2024 season. Quarterback Drake Maye played at an NFL MVP level during the regular year but has not been at his best in the postseason. The team improved after replacing Jerod Mayo with Mike Vrabel, who returned the franchise to the Super Bowl in his first year. Vrabel's defense dominated the playoffs, forcing eight turnovers and allowing only two touchdowns across three games. The Patriots defeated the Chargers 16-3 in the Wild Card Round, limiting Justin Herbert to 159 passing yards and one turnover.
