If you were to summarize this unusual chapter of the New England Patriots‘ history in only two words, those two words would be “uncharted territory.”
Two years ago — heck, even just one year ago — it would have been inconceivable to imagine we’d be at the crossroads we’re at now with this team. Consider that before this year’s Super Bowl, the Patriots had played in four of the five previous championship games… and won three of them.
Even at the beginning of the 2019 season, hope around this team in the New England area seemed as high as it had ever been.
