Patriots outlast Broncos in snowy AFC Championship game to reach Super Bowl 2026
NY Post
DENVER — The Patriots are going to the Super Bowl.
For the better part of the 2000s, that news would have been met with a yawn and the question, “So, what else is new?’’
Those were the Tom Brady-Bill Belichick Patriots that went to nine Super Bowls and won six of them, dating back to 2001.
But this is a new era in New England — a remarkable new era considering that this franchise went a combined 4-26 in 2023 and 2024 before hiring head coach Mike Vrabel prior to this season.
With these Patriots, it isn’t only about the legendary coach and quarterback anymore.
With these Patriots,It takes everyone.
Adam Edstrom was drafted as a center out of Sweden, even if the hulking 6-foot-7 forward exclusively has manned the wing since joining the Rangers’ organization.
Mike Brown is ticked off by the starts but isn’t considering a lineup change.
Aaron Judge led the Yankees to a World Series appearance in 2024. Now, as captain of Team USA, he’s experiencing an atmosphere he says feels even grander.
Travis Kelce’s contract details have been revealed.
The Knicks won, but their coach was fuming.
ST. PAUL, Minn. — Rangers head coach Mike Sullivan developed a reputation for managing egos and personalities, as well as fostering sincere relationships with his players, over his decade with the Penguins.
President Donald Trump seemed to confirm he once broke up an elevator fight involving former NBA great Kobe Bryant.
SAINT PAUL, Minn. — With the Rangers hovering over the bottom of the NHL standings, it’s easy to root for whatever outcome would most likely lead to general manager Chris Drury announcing Gavin McKenna’s name on the draft stage at KeyBank Center in Buffalo this June.
WINNIPEG, Manitoba — When the Rangers started the 2025-26 season, Noah Laba and Matthew Robertson were the only first-year players on the Opening Night roster.
SALT LAKE CITY — It’s easy to forget about the quiet, which in Knicks World means Leon Rose. We’re approaching five years — amazingly — since the team president answered questions from the independent media, and I’ve always maintained that’s poor practice because it avoids responsibility. If there’s no public explanation behind a move or a goal, there’s no accountability if it doesn’t work out.
PORT ST. LUCIE — The Mets’ 2025 failing (one of them anyway) might be their big strength now.
