American Football Conference · AFC East · 2 Super Bowls (2018, 2016)
The New England Patriots were founded in 1959 in Boston, Massachusetts, and now play their home games at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, where the club is also headquartered. Owned by Robert Kraft with Eliot Wolf serving as general manager and Mike Vrabel as head coach, the franchise has experienced dramatic swings in fortune over the years. The late 2010s marked a dynasty-caliber run: a 14–2 record and Super Bowl victory in 2016, another Super Bowl appearance after going 13–3 in 2017, and a second championship in 2018 following an 11–5 campaign. The team remained competitive through 2021 with a playoff berth at 10–7, but consecutive 4–13 seasons in 2023 and 2024 tested the faithful. A remarkable turnaround followed in 2025, when the Patriots surged to 14–3 and reached the Super Bowl once more. The current roster features Drake Maye, Tommy DeVito, Rhamondre Stevenson, TreVeyon Henderson, A.J. Brown, Hunter Henry, and Christian Gonzalez among its notable names.
