NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS star Tom Brady was left stunned after guiding his team to a third consecutive NFL Super Bowl appearance.
Brady led the way as the Patriots reached their 11th Super Bowl thanks to Sunday’s dramatic 37-31 overtime victory at the Kansas City Chiefs.
Five-time Super Bowl champion Brady completed 30 of 46 passes for 348 yards, a touchdown and two interceptions to secure a showdown with the Los Angeles Rams in Atlanta on 3 February.
Asked how he felt following the AFC championship triumph, Brady — set to contest his ninth Super Bowl — told CBS: “Un-f******-believable, bro!”
The Patriots lost last season’s Super Bowl to the Philadelphia Eagles, however, New England are now the third team to reach at least three successive deciders — following in the footsteps of Miami and Buffalo.
New England, who have the chance to tie the Pittsburgh Steelers for the most Super Bowl victories with six, will face the Rams in a rematch of the 2002 decider, which the Patriots won.
Reflecting on the victory at Arrowhead Stadium, Brady said: “Overtime, on the road against a great team.
They had no quit. Neither did we. We played our best football at the end.
“I don’t know, man, I’m tired. That was a hell of a game.”
The 41-year-old quarterback and four-time Super Bowl MVP added: “This is crazy. What a game.”

If he thinks it’s bad now, wait until Hazard heads off to Madrid at the end of the season!
Chelsea players downing again , like they did with mourinho few years back .
This is the problem with Chelsea. They keep relying on short term solutions. The fact Abramovich always wants to change the manager every 2 years does not help their situation. They cannot develop the grounds for a force that will be in contention every year It’s possible that his approach differs a lot form Conte’s and some of the players probably don’t like it. Conte made a title winning side out of them, and were he still in charge, they’d be doing so much better than they are now.
@Gavin Mitchell: ya your point is proven thru the fact of league winners to outside top 4. Happened twice. They have been successful but they are a yoyo club
It’s a game, arsenal were more up for it. Sarri has been getting praise up untill now, strange if he got the chop, he’s asking players to pull a finger out. Who in all honesty would take the role if Sarri was gome
arrivederci, signor allenatore
