What are New England Patriots fans to do?
Their team won’t be in the big game Sunday. Their dynasty of the past two decades, which included nine Super Bowl appearances and six victories — and complete dominance of the AFC East Division — may have seen its end. The Patriots ended the season with a pedestrian 7-9 record.
But their dynastic quarterback, the ageless Tom Brady, will be there, yet again, making a ridiculous, unprecedented 10th Super Bowl appearance. That means Brady will have appeared in half the Super Bowls played since he became a starting quarterback.
