The New England Patriots pulled off an amazing turnaround from consecutive 4-13 seasons to win their way to Super Bowl 60. After the first week of the 2025 season, many would have thought Mike Vrabel’s team was headed for another sour campaign as they lost to the Las Vegas Raiders<\/a>. However, the defeat to the team that would eventually wind up with the No. 1 pick in the 2026 NFL draft was not representative of what was to come. The Patriots went 14-3 in the regular season and now are on their way to Levi’s Stadium to duel the Seattle Seahawks<\/a> for the NFL championship.<\/p>\n
