American Football Conference · AFC East · 2 Super Bowls (2018, 2016)
The New England Patriots were founded in 1959 in Boston, Massachusetts, and now play their home games at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, where the club is also headquartered. Owned by Robert Kraft, the franchise is guided by general manager Eliot Wolf and head coach Mike Vrabel, with Josh McDaniels coordinating the offense and Zak Kuhr leading the defense. The Patriots' recent history shows dramatic swings. A dominant stretch through the 2010s included Super Bowl victories in 2016 and 2018, a 14–2 regular season in 2010, and consistent playoff appearances. The team then endured back-to-back 4–13 campaigns in 2023 and 2024 before a remarkable turnaround in 2025, finishing 14–3 and reaching the Super Bowl. The current roster features quarterback Drake Maye, runningbacks TreVeyon Henderson and Rhamondre Stevenson, receivers A.J. Brown and Romeo Doubs, tight end Hunter Henry, and defensive contributors Christian Gonzalez and Dre'Mont Jones.
