The Patriots are headed to Super Bowl LX thanks in part to quarterback Drake Maye’s decision to run for a first down to seal the AFC championship game victory over the Broncos on Sunday.
With 1:57 left in the game as New England led 10–7, the Patriots needed to convert a first down on a third-and-5 play in order to win the game and book a trip to the Super Bowl. If they failed to do so, the Broncos would get the ball back with plenty of time to either tie up the game or win it.
