[George II]

The New England Patriots are headed to their second straight Super Bowl after defeating the Jacksonville Jaguars 24-20 on Sunday at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Massachusetts.

Tom Brady, whom ESPN's Adam Schefter reported suffered a laceration on his throwing hand earlier this week, finished 26-of-38 for 290 yards and two touchdowns.

Blake Bortles threw for 293 yards and a touchdown on 23-of-36 passing in a losing effort.

Brady's four-yard touchdown pass to Danny Amendola with 2:48 left in the fourth quarter proved to be the game-winning score.

This article will be updated to provide more information on this story as it becomes available.

It was looking bad - down 10 point and Gronkowski out before halftime. But the "GOAT" did it again (I know, he's a conservative republican but this is sports)

On to the Super Bowl again.

1. Booooooooooooooo

[shenmue]

2. Yep

[Afromania]

5. I don't often want to unrec things, but "symbolic unrec forever for anything patriots related"

also I join you in your booing.

[louis c]

9. Let's see, no Gronk and Brady played left handed.

Maybe you need to check the air in the footballs.

Ha, Ha, Ha, Ha, Ha.

[Afromania]

18. Yea, unrec for you too:)

[SergeStorms]

19. +1

Actually, a one followed by fifteen zeroes should do it.

[yallerdawg]

3. If you made Brady's kind of money...

you'd be a "conservative republican," too!

Go Philly!!!!

[George II]

6. I'm rooting for the Eagles, too - don't want to go to Minnesota and play the "home team"....

...I've got to tease Klobuchar, she was tweeting about how it would be a temperature shock to the Jacksonville players when they get off the plane. Now they don't have to worry about that.

[pangaia]

23. DID YOU SEE THAT INTERCEPT YAY !!!!!!!!

[George II]

24. I had to go into the other room to ask my wife something. It was looking like it'd be 14-0...

....when I got back it was 7-7. Have to dig up the replay.

[StevieM]

36. Not all wealthy people are conservative Republicans.

Tom Steyer is a terrific Democrat who is fighting the good fight.

[jpak]

4. What's a Super Bowl without the Pats?

Boooorrrinng!

[djg21]

7. GOATs.

Brady, Belichik and the Pats. This has to the most winning dynasty in NFL history. I want to see Minnesota and the Pats play.

[rockfordfile]

14. No the rules are so different now

A defense can't play as aggressive as in the past. Not even close.

[jmowreader]

34. Oh, come on. Super Bowl 48 was a LOT of fun

[7962]

8. Sorry, but BOOOOOOO!

The game isn't fun anymore when it seems like only one will win.
I have no problem saying Brady is the best QB in history. Just sick of his smugness

[louis c]

11. Maybe not for you, but footbal is a blast for me

Just like the 1972 election.

I'm proud to be from Massachusetts.

The New England Patriots, the only team in America that represents 6 blue states.

[SergeStorms]

16. Uh.......no.

I'm originally from Vermont, and the Patriots organization can kiss my rosy red ass.

[7962]

41. HA!

[maryellen99]

20. Proud of a team whose Owner,QB,and HC support what trump stands for?

And no I’m not jealous.

[louis c]

25. Happy for the fans who know how to vote

20 of 21 members of Congress have D's. 11 of 12 U.S. Senators caucus with Dems. Every state voted Hillary. That's who I'm happy for.

If the rest of the country voted like New England, Hillary would have had more than 500 electoral votes, Congress would have 400 Democratic members and the Senate would be 92 Dems to 8 Repukes.

To say I'm happy for those fans, you bet your ass I'm happy for them.

[Scurrilous]

10. @#$% the Trump loving Cheatriots.

[louis c]

13. Another win. We better check the footballs

[LiberalFighter]

28. What didn't make sense about that game...

They inflated the balls during the half against Indy. Before half-time it was 17 - 7. After half-time the Patriots scored 28 more points and Indy nothing. Final score 45 - 7.

[SergeStorms]

12. Well, that frees me up on Sunday, February 4th.

As long as the "Patriots" are in it, I'm not watching. Fuck Brady, Belichick, Kraft and every other Trump loving asshole in New England, in the entire world, as far as that goes.

They're usually not worth watching anyway.

[louis c]

15. The New England Patriots is the Only Team in America to Represent 6 Blue States

[George II]

27. Well, five blue states and a purple one (Maine) We have to turn Maine blue.....

LePage is out this year, hopefully Collins will be out in 2021.

[JDC]

29. I live in N.H. We feel pretty purple ourselves

[jmowreader]

35. JDC, why does the NH House of Representatives need 400 members?

What was the calculus? "Every family needs a lawyer and a congressman"?

[JDC]

37. Because the Hall had 400 seats?

424 if you count the state senators

The upside is that they all only make $100 a year.

[DiverDave]

17. All according to plan

The nfl plan.
Now watch the Vikings win.
Home game super bowl?
Too good to pass up.
Then the cheaters win a last one for
tommy.
Scripted.
On edit,
I was wrong.
Now GO EAGLES

[elias7]

40. Except....not

[Archae]

21. The Patriots will cheat and the Vikings choke.

[pangaia]

22. Geooorge, Don't rub it in...

[Eliot Rosewater]

26. First of all, football is boring if Kenny Stabler isnt playing, and 2nd of all

Oh hell, just HAVE FUN!

[Yavin4]

30. It's going to be a terrible Superbowl.

Fitting because it was one of the worst seasons ever in the NFL.

[djg21]

42. I truly hope so.

As a life-long Patriots fan who was raised and lived in New England for much of my life, I could do with a little less agita and anxiety during the game. I hope the game sucks and the Pats are ahead by 40 points by the end of the first quarter so I can thoroughly enjoy the Super Bowl party.

I don’t see any team beating Brady now. Gronk will be back for the Suoerbowl. He’s got two weeks, and as demonstrated yesterday, it just doesn’t matter who Brady plays with. Next man up is the Belichik way.

[brucefan]

31. Go Eagles!

[stopbush]

32. Fuck the tRump-loving Pats.

They’re boring, and not in a good way.

[Tracer]

33. What a bunch of sore losers you are.

You can't admit that Brady and the Pats are better than the rest of the teams without being sour and disparaging?

Get a grip.

Once upon a time they were considered poor taste but that was then, I guess...
