Patriots' Latest Super Bowl Run Can Put Cap on Improbable Turnaround

The Patriots won the AFC title 10-7 over the Broncos in snowy Denver, led by Maye’s defense-dominant play allowing just 26 postseason points.

  • On Sunday, Jan. 25, 2026, the New England Patriots clinched a Super Bowl trip with a 10-7 AFC championship win over the Denver Broncos in snowy Denver, sending them back to the title game since 2018.

  • Next is a trip to Santa Clara, California, for a Super Bowl 49 rematch against the Seattle Seahawks, with the Patriots seeking their franchise's seventh Super Bowl win and boasting a 9-0 road record.
  • Patriots' offense showed limits in the title game, scoring 10 points and averaging 3.2 yards per play against Seattle Seahawks' 36 points per game in playoffs, while Maye returns to Santa Clara 10 years after attending Super Bowl 50 as a spectator.
