Cane New England Patriots beat a winning team, with a quarterback coming off of what is arguably the best game of his career?

It is a question that you will hear frequently over the next week, with much attention paid to the AFC champions' schedule and the lack of quality wins on it, with the Buffalo Bills standing out as the only winning team the Patriots faced, and defeated, in the 2025 regular season.

Even in the playoffs, they battled a Los Angeles Chargers team with a depleted offensive line, a Houston Texans team whose quarterback turned the ball over four times, and a Denver Broncos squad whose starter suffered a broken ankle and missed the AFC Championship Game.

Still, a team can only beat those on its schedule and the Patriots did that, losing just three times in a campaign that sees them return to the Super Bowl for the first time since 2018, and on the heels of a 4-13 season.

Head coach Mike Vrabel and defensive coordinator Terrell Williams have made it difficult for opposing quarterbacks, giving different and unique looks that have thrown off even veteran quarterbacks. That could be key against a quarterback in Seattle's Sam Darnold, who has thrown 14 interceptions this season.

If the defense is too aggressive, as the Los Angeles Rams' was in the NFC Championship Game, Darnold will pick it part and lead his team to a world title, the first from his draft class to do so.
