The team plays its home games at Gillette Stadium in the town of Foxborough, Massachusetts, which is 28 miles (45 km) southwest of downtown Boston.
The Patriots are also headquartered at Gillette Stadium. An original member of the American Football League (AFL), the Patriots joined the NFL in 1970 as part of the AFL–NFL merger. The team changed its name from the original Boston Patriots after relocating to Foxborough in 1971. The Patriots played their home games at Foxboro Stadium from 1971 to 2001, then moved to Gillette Stadium at the start of the 2002 season.
The team’s current roster
The current roster for the New England Patriots includes quarterbacks Tom Brady and Jimmy Garoppolo, running backs Dion Lewis and Rex Burkhead, wide receivers Julian Edelman, Danny Amendola, Brandin Cooks and Chris Hogan, tight ends Rob Gronkowski and Dwayne Allen, offensive linemen Nate Solder, Joe Thuney, Shaq Mason, David Andrews and Marcus Cannon, defensive linemen Alan Branch, Malcom Brown, Lawrence Guy, Trey Flowers and Deatrich Wise Jr., linebackers Kyle Van Noy, Elandon Roberts, David Harris and Dont’a Hightower, cornerbacks Malcolm Butler and Stephon Gilmore, safeties Devin McCourty and Duron Harmon and special teams player Matthew Slater.
The team’s recent performance
Since Tom Brady took over as the starting quarterback in 2001, the New England Patriots have been one of the most successful NFL teams. They’ve won six Super Bowls, including three in the last five years, and Brady is widely considered to be one of the greatest quarterbacks of all time.
The team’s recent success has largely been due to Brady’s play, but head coach Bill Belichick also deserves a lot of credit. Belichick is known for his creative game-planning and for putting his players in position to succeed.
While the Patriots have been dominant in recent years, they’ve also been involved in several controversies. In 2007, they were caught videotaping opponents’ defensive signals, an act that came to be known as “Spygate.” And more recently, they were accused of deflating footballs to give Brady an advantage in the 2015 AFC Championship game.
The Seattle Seahawks

They compete in the National Football League (NFL) as a member club of the league’s National Football Conference (NFC) West division.
