Their 14-3 regular season allowed them to punch their ticket for the first time since 2021. As a result, the team of head coach Mike Vrabel will be hosting the Los Angeles Chargers in the wild card round on Sunday night.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">While reaching the postseason in Year 1 under Vrabel is in itself a major accomplishment, the Patriots hope that Sunday will mark only the first step on their journey toward a championship.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">What is realistic, though?
