Highlights from the Divisional Round matchup between the Houston Texans and the New England Patriots during the 2025 NFL Playoffs.

The No. 2 New England Patriots are headed to the Super Bowl after outlasting the top-seeded Denver Broncos in a snowy, instant-classic AFC Championship Game at Empower Field at Mile High on Sunday.

The New England Patriots are going back to the Super Bowl after downing the Denver Broncos in the AFC championship game. Here's how it happened.

The Patriots and Dolphins play Sunday in Week 18 of the 2025 NFL season. Dolphins running back De'Von Achane and wide receiver Jaylen Waddle have been ruled out for the game. Patriots offensive tackle Will Campbell and defensive tackle Milton Williams are both expected to return this week.

Neither team could get much going on offense, but it was Maye and Mike Vrabel's squad who did enough to send New England to Super Bowl LX.

New England is headed to its first AFC Championship game appearance since the 2018 season and will face the Broncos

The New England Patriots are handed the Lamar Hunt Trophy following their win in the 2025 AFC Championship Game against the Denver Broncos.

The Patriots' defense forced five turnovers, including four interceptions by Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud, and New England's Drake Maye threw for three touchdowns in the win. It will be the Patriots' first conference championship game since 2018, when they'd been to eight straight with Tom Brady on the way to his final Super Bowl win there.

The Denver Broncos couldn’t move past the New England Patriots in the 2025 AFC championship game. Sean Payton took a lot of heat for that loss, as many thought his play-calling and decision-making in crucial times could have been better.
