For the third straight year and the ninth time in Tom Brady and Bill Belichick’s career, the New England Patriots are going back to the Super Bowl.
The Patriots, who lost to the Philadelphia Eagles last year, will get another chance for Brady to add an unprecedented sixth championship ring. But they’ll have to beat the surging Rams, who beat the New Orleans Saints in Sunday’s NFC championship game.
Sunday marked the first time in NFL history that both conference championship games went to overtime, as the Chiefs kicked a field goal in the final seconds of the fourth quarter to tie the game 31-31.
