FOXBOROUGH, Mass. — The Super Bowl Champion New England Patriots unveiled their newest banner Sunday night.
After knocking off the Rams in last year's Super Bowl to claim the franchise's sixth Lombardi trophy, the Patriots needed to make more room at Gillette for the banner.
Before kicking off the 2019-2020 season against the Steelers, they took the opportunity to celebrate last season's victory with the fans.
