The Patriots end a seven-year wait. Winner of Denver this Sunday in the conference final (10-7), New England will return to the Super Bowl on February 8 and will face Seattle, which it beat in 2015 in the NFL final.
The Patriots have not tasted the Superbowl since the departure in 2019 of their former star Tom Brady, considered the greatest quarterback in history. New England won six Super Bowls with Tom Brady between 2001 and 2018, and none since. New England has had a difficult rebuilding period, failing three seasons in a row to make the playoffs. But under the leadership of their new coach, Mike Vrabel, the Patriots’ rebirth is sparkling this season.
Critics of Trump
Thanks to their victory against Denver, after a tough match in the snow, they will aim for a seventh title on February 8 in Santa Clara, California, against Seattle. The Seahawks won against the Los Angeles Rams (31-27) to win their right to a revenge against New England. The Patriots, with Tom Brady at the time, had indeed beaten them in the Super Bowl in 2015 (28-24).
This NFL final will be played without Donald Trump, who told the New York Post that the game was “just too far.” The President of the United States took the opportunity to criticize the choice of musical programming, deeming “totally ridiculous” the presence of the group Green Day and the Puerto Rican rapper Bad Bunny, both openly anti-Trump.
