Bill Belichick, Tom Brady and the New England Patriots won six Super Bowl championships from 2001 to 2018. The Patriots won 16 of the 18 AFC East titles during that span.
New England finished second in the division behind the New York Jets in 2002, the only time the Patriots failed to win at least 10 games during the regular season in the Brady-Belichick era. The team's other missed division title came in 2008, when the Miami Dolphins won it after Brady suffered a torn ACL in the season opener and missed the remainder of the season.
