After a cross-country flight, Super Bowl<\/a> Week has officially begun for the New England Patriots<\/a> as they’ve touched down in the Bay Area.<\/p>\n

The Patriots took off from TF Green Airport in Warwick, Rhode Island<\/a> this afternoon and landed at San Jose Mineta Airport just before 4:00pm on the West Coast.<\/p>\n

New England will be setting up their pre-game camp at Stanford University in Palo Alto before playing in Super Bowl LX at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara.<\/p>\n

Head coach Mike Vrabel, star quarterback Drake<\/a> Maye and the rest of the team all descended down the steps and into the cloudy California<\/a>\u00a0afternoon just one week before the biggest game of the year.<\/p>\n

Now, the Patriots have their sights set on preparation for the big game and a re-match against the Seattle Seahawks<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

It’s the first time that the Patriots are in the Super Bowl since 2019 when they played in Super Bowl LIII.<\/p>\n

Quarterback Drake Maye (L) and head coach Mike Vrabel (R) have arrived in the Bay Area<\/p>\n

In that game in Atlanta, New England defeated the Los Angeles<\/a> Rams in one of the lowest scoring contests in Super Bowl history.<\/p>\n

But, by virtue of their 13-3 win, they moved into a tie with the Pittsburgh Steelers for the most titles by any NFL team in history.\u00a0<\/p>\n

They’ve already extended their record of the most appearances in the Super Bowl by any team in history – with New England gearing up for its 12th title game.<\/p>\n

After losing in both Super Bowl XX and Super Bowl XXXI, the Patriots finally captured their first title in Super Bowl XXXVI – marking the beginning of their dynasty.<\/p>\n

Titles No. 2 and No. 3 followed shortly after – with the Patriots winning Super Bowl XXXVIII and Super Bowl XXXIX.\u00a0<\/p>\n

They were the first team in the 21st Century to win consecutive Super Bowls and remained the only franchise to do so until the Kansas City Chiefs won titles in the 2022 and 2023 seasons.<\/p>\n

New England lost Super Bowl XLII and Super Bowl XLVI – both to the New York Giants – before re-gaining their footing in Super Bowl XLIX over the Seattle Seahawks in one of the greatest Super Bowls ever played.<\/p>\n

New England will hope to leave the Bay Area adding to their joint-record six Super Bowl titles<\/p>\n

But their opponents – the Seattle Seahawks – are favored to get revenge for Super Bowl XLIX<\/p>\n

They followed that up by completing the largest comeback in Super Bowl history by erasing a 25-point deficit to the Atlanta Falcons in Super Bowl LI.<\/p>\n

A loss to the Philadelphia Eagles in Super Bowl LII was followed up by the aforementioned Super Bowl LIII win over the Rams.<\/p>\n

If New England wins this game, it’ll be the first time they’ve beaten the same Super Bowl opponent twice.<\/p>\n

But Seattle enters the game as favorites. As of Sunday, betting markets lean to the Seahawks by 4.5 points.<\/p>\n
