American Football Conference · AFC East · 2 Super Bowls (2018, 2016)
The New England Patriots were founded in 1959 in Boston, Massachusetts. They play their home games at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, where the club is also headquartered. Robert Kraft owns the franchise, with Eliot Wolf serving as general manager and Mike Vrabel as head coach. Josh McDaniels coordinates the offense and Zak Kuhr leads the defense. The Patriots have experienced dramatic swings in fortune over the years covered here. From 2009 through 2019, the team was a model of consistency, posting double-digit wins in all but one season and capturing two Super Bowl titles (2016 and 2018) while reaching another (2017). The 2020 season marked the start of a downturn: a 7-9 record was followed by a brief playoff return in 2021, then back-to-back losing seasons in 2022 and 2023. The 2024 campaign brought a second consecutive 4-13 finish. Then came 2025: a 14-3 record and a Super Bowl appearance, a sudden resurgence after two difficult years. The 2026 season currently sits at 2-2.
