New England Patriots outlast Denver Broncos to reach Super Bowl 60

The Patriots capitalized on Broncos' turnovers, including two critical errors by backup QB Jarrett Stidham, to secure their 40th playoff win, the most in NFL history.

  • On Jan. 25, the New England Patriots beat the Denver Broncos, 10-7, in the AFC Championship at Empower Field to advance to Super Bowl 60 in a low-scoring contest.
  • Facing injuries, Denver had to turn to Jarrett Stidham as a starter after Bo Nix was unavailable, while an intense squall in the second half hampered the Broncos' offense at Empower Field, Denver.
  • In snowy conditions, the Patriots' defense, aided by special teams, held Denver to 7 points after Stidham's fumble set up their only touchdown.
  • The Patriots will play the NFC champion on Feb. 8 in Santa Clara, and Mike Vrabel reached the Super Bowl in his first season as Patriots head coach, with several former Titans now on the team.
  • Denver now faces offseason questions about quarterback depth as Jarrett Stidham has made four career starts, yet some observers see the Broncos' season end as part of a revival under Bo Nix and Sean Payton.
