Ya a lo que parece ser un disco rayado, los Patriots de Nueva Inglaterra nuevamente firman su pase al Super Bowl LIII, en donde los esperan los Rams de Los Ángeles. Los Pats, liderados por Tom Brady, vencieron en tiempo extra 37-31 a los Chiefs de Kansas City el domingo en el Arrowhead Stadium.

El partido del Super Bowl será en Atlanta el 3 de febrero, en el Mercedes-Benz Stadium.

Los Patriots iban arriba 14-0 en la primera mitad del Juego de Campeonato de la Liga Americana, pero los Chiefs y el mariscal de campo Patrick Mahomes no se darían por vencidos tan fácilmente y anotaron tres touchdowns seguidos en la segunda mitad del partido y momentáneamente tomar el control del encuentro.

Finalmente el partido se fue al tiempo extra en donde los Patriots vuelven por tercera vez seguida al Super Bowl.
