1960 was the kick-off year for the Patriots; a few years later the team relocated to Fenway Park where they played their home games and where they managed to win their first division crown with a 7-6-1 record.
After countless moves in 1971 the team selected Foxborough as their new home arena; subsequently the team was named the New England Patriots.
During the 1985 playoffs, the Patriots gained a wild-card berth and were able to defeat the New York Jets, Los Angeles Raiders and the Miami Dolphins on their way to win their first AFC Championship and a trip to Super Bowl XX.
While still on track during the 1996 season the Patriots gained their second Super Bowl appearance. Then in 2000, Bill Belichick became the Patriot’s head coach leading them to become one of the NFL’s high-status teams. |
From 2001 to 2004, Belichick led the team to the top record in the league winning three Super Bowl Titles. One of these victories includes; a thriller ending Super Bowl XXXVI - where the Patriots defeated the St. Rams. Belichick continues to lead the Patriots holding a record of overall 91 wins, 37 loses and no ties besides the number one and number two positions in the regular season since 2001.
In 2003 the Patriots became the only NFL team that within a period of 31-years ended a season with 15 consecutive wins.
Amongst some of the team’s Hall of Famers we find Mike Haynes, Andre Tippett, John Hanna and Nick Bouniconti.
