New England Patriots

The New England Patriots are a professional American football team based in the Greater Boston area. The Patriots compete in the National Football League (NFL) as a member club of the league’s American Football Conference (AFC) East division. The team plays its home games at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Massachusetts, which is located 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 2002 season.

The Patriots have appeared in the Super Bowl nine times in franchise history, winning six of them, most recently Super Bowl LIII in February 2019. They have since become the second team after the Pittsburgh Steelers to win six Super Bowls. As of November 2019, Brady has led them to an NFL-record 27 consecutive appearances in winning seasons including 21 consecutive seasons with 10 or more wins, and 16 AFC East divisional titles in that period; both records currently stand unbroken and unchallenged. Between 2001 and 2016, Brady led New England to 16 divisional titles—more than any other quarterback has won with a single team during that span—and 10 conference championships, which is second all time behind only Brett Favre’s 11 with Green Bay and San Francisco. He is one of only three players ever to win five Super Bowls with one franchise; he joins defensive end Charles Haley and Peyton Manning as that exclusive club’s only members so far (No other player has even won four). Brady has more regular season victories than any other quarterback who has played for just one team; he currently stands second on that list behind Hall-of-Famer Brett Favre who played 19 seasons for Green Bay and Minnesota combined—Brady surpassed Favre for second place on October 29th, 2019 against Cleveland--and he also tops Favre’s record for career touchdown passes with 581--Favre threw 508 career touchdown passes while playing for Green Bay and Minnesota combined--as well as his record for most passing yards with 77,416--Favre threw 71,838 passing yards while playing for Green Bay and Minnesota combined—all while playing his entire 20-year career thus far with just New England.
