NFL Football – About the New England Patriots The New England Patriots started out as the Boston Patriots in 1959, but took on “New England” after moving their headquarters and home stadium to Foxborough Massachusetts in 1971. The team has been a member of the AFC East division since 1970 but was previously an original member of the American Football League. The Pats made their first Super Bowl appearance in 1986 (losing to the Chicago Bears) and then not again until 1997 (losing to the Green Bay Packers). After a few slow seasons, the New England Patriots became the second team in the history of the NFL to win three Super Bowls in four years (XXXVI, XXXVII and XXXIX) and the eight team in history to win consecutive Super Bowls. With quarterback Tom Brady and head coach Bill Belichick, the team earned the longest winning streak in NFL history (21 games from October 2003 to October 2004). With an impressive history, the 2011 New England Patriots season is sure to be a thriller The team plays in Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Massachusetts and has longstanding rivalries with the New York Jets and Indianapolis Colts.
