The Patriots are Super Bowl Champions for the sixth time in franchise history after beating the Rams in Super Bowl LIII.
After an uneventful first half that saw just three points put on the board, the Patriots pulled out the win with an incredible performance from Julian Edelman and a spectacular effort from the defense throughout the game.
A Stephen Gostkowski field goal gave them the lead in the first half, before a Greg Zuerlein field goal tied things up in the fourth quarter.
Jason McCourty came up with a clutch stop in the third quarter, covering a massive amount of ground to break up what would've been a go-ahead touchdown in a 3-0 game.
In a 3-3 game in the fourth quarter, Tom Brady led a drive with under 10 minutes to go to take the lead back on a Sony Michel touchdown, with "Brady" chants filling the Mercedes-Benz Stadium.
With the win, Tom Brady became the first player to reach six Super Bowl wins in NFL history.
The duck boats are set to roll through Boston on Tuesday to celebrate the win.
