NFL Media Reacts To Patriots Wild Finish Vs. Chiefs

The New England Patriots did an amazing job. Again. Tom Brady, Rob Gronkowski, Sony Michel, Rex Burkhead and the rest of the players are making their way to Atlanta as the Patriots won the AFC Championship game against the Kansas City Chiefs, and that finish was more than brilliant.

The Patriots will be playing the Super Bowl for the ninth time with TB12 at the helm. This will be their third year in a row, and that sure means a lot. Thanks for the amazing finish, Rex Burkhead!

The Patriots are BACK in the lead after Rex Burkhead pounded it in for a touchdown. Holy moly what a game.

Burkhead’s finish took the Patriots to the Super Bowl

New England ran a flea flicker in overtime, and the Patriots nation was well aware of the hidden plan. It was like watching a miracle happen.

The coin toss is important at the beginning of the game, but it is even more important in overtime. Winning it means you can end the match with a single score. The Patriots won it and got the bowl while giving themselves enough control for the remainder of the game. It was hilarious!

15 plays. 80 yards. 8:05 off the clock. If you don't think the use of "21" and "22" personnel has changed the identity of this offense, you crazy. And it's doubly effective because it keeps Mahomes off the field and will reduce their number of possessions.

This game was probably the most anticipated one in the regular season. Players and coaches were not really convinced that Tom Brady will take the Patriots to the Super Bowl, but he proved them wrong. It seems like the quarterback was saving his best for last. New England gave its opponents a serious headache, and we cannot really imagine the way Kansas City players feel at the moment. Losing to a team that was criticized throughout the regular season? It must hurt a lot.

Head coach Bill Belichick must be excited about this. Patriots fans never really doubted. There’s no such thing like retirement, failure or anything similar. Tom Brady and Rob Gronkowski are still here, and they are about to give their best in the Super Bowl. Keep up the good job, Pats!
