The Pats were sterling on the road in 2025, but just one of their eight travel victories came against a team that finished the season with a winning record (at Buffalo in Week 5).
Players enter Sunday’s game confident in their ability to continue the road perfection.
“Shoot, our record says it. We’re 8-0 on the road, so I don’t think there’s anything that we really need to change up,” rookie safety Craig Woodson said, via the Boston Globe. “I mean, we’ve had success on the road. We’re going to continue to have success. So, I don’t think we need to change anything. We just prepare like we usually do, and we’ll be ready to go.”
On Sunday, New England will face a Broncos team with quarterback Jarrett Stidham, a former Patriots fourth-round pick, making his first start since 2023.
New England is 1-4 against Denver in the postseason, with the home squad winning all five games. The Pats have 11 wins in conference championship games, the most all-time. Denver has eight wins in conference title games, tied for second-most all-time (Steelers, Cowboys, 49ers).
