The Patriots won the coin toss and deferred putting Jarrett Stidham and the Broncos offense on the field first. Back-to-back run stuffs by New England’s defense to start the game set up a 3rd-and-9, where pressure by Milton Williams and Elijah Ponder got to the quarterback forcing an incompletion and punt.

It wasn't pretty, but the New England Patriots are headed to Super Bowl LX after beating the Denver Broncos, 10-7, in the AFC Championship Game.
