The New England Patriots are a National Football League franchise team. The Patriots, also known to their fans as the "Pats", are based in Foxboro, Massachusetts. Since they are located in the eastern region of the United States the Patriots belong to the Eastern Division of American Football Conference (AFC). Originally known as the Boston Patriots the franchise changed its name in 1971 to the New England Patriots to better reflect its representation of the entire New England region.

The Patriots have gone to five Super Bowls and have won three. Their first Super Bowl trip was in 1985 against the Chicago Bears, which they lost 42 - 10. In 1995 the Patriots made their second Super Bowl trip but fell short against the Green Bay Packers in a 35 - 21 loss. However, the Patriots' 2001 season ended in a Super Bowl triumph, where they defeated the heavily favored Saint Louis Rams in a thrilling 21-17 victory. The Patriots won two more Super Bowls in 2004 over the Carolina Panthers and 2005 over the Philadelphia Eagles, and cemented themselves as one of the National Football League's greatest teams ever with three Super Bowl wins in four years.
