The New England Patriots will battle the Seattle Seahawk in Super Bowl LX, which marks New England’s first Super Bowl appearance since Tom Brady’s departure. And this won’t be the first time the Patriots and Seahawks meet in the Super Bowl, as it’s a rematch of Super Bowl XLVIII.
New England’s Super Bowl history is quite extensive, where they’ve made 11 appearances and won six of those games, which is tied with the Pittsburgh Steelers for the most Super Bowl wins in NFL history. The Patriots’ first Super Bowl appearance came in 1985, when they were dominated by the Chicago Bears, 46-10. Interestingly enough, all six of New England’s Super Bowl wins have come since the 2001 season and all with future Hall of Famer Tom Brady at quarterback.
