Times have been tough at the Gillette Stadium since the Pats' last Super Bowl win in 2018 and the end of the Brady–Belichick era. But the good times seems to be back under Mike Vrabel and 23-year-old star QB Drake Maye. They've followed up a 14-3 regular season with comfortable postseason wins over the Chargers and Texans? Can the Patriots sew up the conference at the Mile High Stadium on Sunday?
Despite coming into the postseason as no. 1 seeds, the Broncos made heavy weather of defeating the Bills last weekend. A hot Buffalo comeback took the game to overtime, before Wil Lutz's field goal sealed a first Denver playoffs win since their Super Bowl victory a decade ago.
