The Cincinnati Bengals are now tentative holders of a home playoff game after a stunning comeback against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Not only does Belichick have a massive coaching edge, the matchup sets up nicely for New England. The Patriots’ much-criticized offense can have issues moving the football, but that shouldn’t be a problem against a Las Vegas defense that ranks 25th in the NFL and allows 24.1 points per game. The Patriots' professional cheerleading squad is the New England Patriots Cheerleaders which represents the team in the NFL. Notable alumni of the cheerleading squad include wrestler Carmella and model Camille Kostek. Long-time cheerleading director Tracy Sormanti, who was the cheer director since 1994 and had been involved with the organization since 1983, passed away after a three-year battle with multiple myeloma in 2020.
Bledsoe set single-game records for pass attempts and completions, and the Patriots won the game 26–20 in overtime. The Patriots won their last seven games of the regular season, finishing 10–6 and making the playoffs as a wild card. In the first round of the playoffs, the Patriots were beaten by the Cleveland Browns 20–13.

In Super Bowl XLIX, he had a last second tackle on Seattle Seahawks RB Marshawn Lynch at the one-yard line in the final minute of the game, forcing the Seahawks to have to call another play to reach the end zone. The Seahawks would throw the game-losing interception to Butler the next play, sealing the Patriots' fourth Super Bowl win. In Super Bowl LI, his strip sack on Atlanta Falcons QB Matt Ryan was what turned out to be a crucial catalyst that helped led to the Patriots' historical comeback down 28–3. The Patriots have won six Super Bowls, the league championship of the NFL. The franchise is tied for the most all-time with the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Belichick has led the team for more regular season games , post-season games and more complete seasons than any other head coach. His 254 wins with the Patriots are far and away the most in franchise history, more than three times those of runner-up Mike Holovak. The Ravens played the Patriots for the third consecutive season in the 2011 AFC Championship Game, which the Ravens lost 23–20.

The Patriots defeated the Colts in back-to-back overtime games, 23–17 on December 8, 1991, and 37–34 on November 15, 1992. In 2016, the Patriots took part in the NFL's Color Rush program, wearing monochrome navy uniforms on September 22 against the Houston Texans. The uniform tops were patterned after the 1980s Pat Patriot-era uniforms, while the pants featured thick white stripes with red accents. In 2017, an all-white Color Rush uniform was introduced and used for the Patriots' Thursday night road game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The Patriots underwent a complete identity overhaul before the 1993 season, starting with the introduction of the aforementioned "Flying Elvis" logo.
The Patriots also started the year with a 7-2 or better record in 2013, 2010, 2007, 2004, 2003, 1980 and 1978. During the offseason, the Patriots lost left tackle Nate Solder, right tackle Cameron Fleming, wide receiver Brandin Cooks, starting running back Dion Lewis, and cornerback Malcolm Butler. Also during the offseason, they added left tackle Trent Brown, Bengals running back Jeremy Hill, and wide receiver Cordarrelle Patterson. The Patriots also drafted left tackle Isaiah Wynn and running back Sony Michel in the first round. In 2014, the Patriots finished 12–4 and won their sixth straight AFC East title.
Season-by-season results
On October 11, 2009, the two teams met with former Patriots' offensive coordinator, Josh McDaniels as the Broncos' head coach. The two teams met in the Divisional round of the 2011 playoffs, with the Patriots blowing out Tim Tebow and the Broncos by a score of 45–10. The Broncos' rivalry with the Patriots later intensified when longtime Indianapolis Colts' quarterback Peyton Manning became the Broncos' starting quarterback from 2012 to 2015. Manning and Patriots' quarterback Tom Brady maintained a legendary rivalry from 2001 until Manning's retirement after the 2015 season. The Patriots and the Bills were both charter members of the AFL, and even competed with each other in an AFL playoff game. Prior to the rise of Tom Brady, the two teams shared a mellow, yet occasionally competitive rivalry, featuring highlights from players such as O.
Adam Vinatieri began his long and storied career as a kicker with the New England Patriots, kicking multiple, franchise-defining kicks to help the Patriots reach and win three Super Bowls. Vinatieri kicked two famous field goals in the Tuck Rule Game in blizzard-like conditions, as well as the game-winning field goals in the Patriots' first two Super Bowl victories. The Patriots Hall of Fame features 28 former players and three contributors as a part of the franchise's own hall of fame, founded to independently honor significant members of the organization within the club's history. The two teams met with Lamar Jackson as the Ravens quarterback for the first time on Sunday Night Football on November 3, 2019. The 8–0 Patriots were favored over the 5–2 Ravens before the game, but the Ravens won in a blowout, 37–20. The Patriots rivalry with the Baltimore/Indianapolis Colts ran through the two clubs' tenure together in the AFC East (1970–2001).
Rhamondre Stevenson's best plays from 172-yard game
With the win, Brady now has a record of .500 or better against every NFL team. Tom Brady moved past Pro Football Hall of Famer John Elway for fifth all-time on the NFL list on a 6-yard completion to WR Julian Edelman in the third quarter. Brady has 155 career regular season wins in his first 200 regular-season starts (155-45, .775). Brady has more wins than any other quarterback in his first 200 regular-season starts.
However, two long Brett Favre touchdown passes and a Super Bowl record 99-yard kickoff return for a touchdown by MVP Desmond Howard gave the Packers their 12th title. In 1986, the Patriots' strength was their passing game, led by Eason and receiver Stanley Morgan, who gained nearly 1,500 yards receiving. The Patriots led the AFC East with an 11–5 record and traveled to Denver to take on the Broncos in the divisional playoffs. A 4th-quarter touchdown pass from John Elway to Vance Johnson won the game for Denver. The Patriots won six of seven meetings over a ten-year period (1998–2007) before the Steelers broke through with a 33–10 victory at Foxborough in 2008, after Matt Cassel turned the ball over five times. The Patriots in 2013 then made history by becoming the first opponent to score 55 points on the Steelers, winning 55–31.
The Patriots trailed when Brady threw a 20-yard touchdown to David Patten with 21 seconds left to give the Patriots a win. Unless the No. 1 seed is already locked up, Buffalo will be firing on all cylinders in the final week of the season. In a similar result to what we saw in Week 13, the Bills give the home crowd a statement win to show they are primed for another deep playoff push. The Patriots get the unfortunate draw of facing the Cardinals late in the season, meaning they will square up against wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins, who has been suspended for the first six weeks of the season. While that makes for a tough matchup for the Patriots secondary, Bill Belichick does have extra time to prepare for this Monday Night Football game after playing on Thursday in Week 13. That should be enough time to formulate a plan to negate this high-flying offense.
Last week, the Raiders suffered another last-minute, gut-wrenching loss by letting Baker Mayfield, who had been on the Rams’ roster for about five minutes, lead a game-winning drive. A committee of media and staff selected 11 players for enshrinement between 1991 and 2001, before a six-year span of no selections. In order to be eligible, players and coaches must be retired for at least four years. Beginning in 2011, and meeting every five years, a senior selection committee has the option of voting a player who has been retired for at least 25 seasons into the hall of fame.
From 1971 until 2001, the Patriots would simply practice at Foxboro Stadium whenever the field was available, otherwise they would use the public football fields that were available in Foxborough. Prior to 2003, the Patriots held training camp and practice at numerous locations. From 1976 to 2002, the team held training camp at Bryant College in Smithfield, Rhode Island. From 1960 to 1961, then from 1969 to 1975, the Patriots held training camp at University of Massachusetts Amherst.
