"Cocky in prediction. Confident in preparation. But I am always humble in
victory or defeat." This famous quote from Conor McGregor has been a pivotal
aspect of many spheres of my life. From my writing style to my endeavors, more
often than not I have found myself resonating with these words. Maybe this is
the reason why I connect so well with Tom Brady and his NFL journey. And while
it is hard to pick a favorite, I am certain any TB12 fan will have the 2015
Ravens vs Patriots clash burned into his memory. This zest for the game has
enabled me to cover the football core sport in-depth. But, I must admit that the
'behind-the-scene' panorama of the sport equally intrigues this. This has helped
me cater to the requirements of fans from both the world—sports and
entertainment. Apart from the dynamic world of the gridiron, you can find me
either in front of a book or gaming console, ready to paint the town red.

<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>New England Patriots 2022: </strong><strong>News, Schedule, Roster, Score, Injury Report</strong></h2>
<p style="text-align: center"><span style="font-weight: 400">The New England Patriots started playing professional football in <a href="https://www.pro-football-reference.com/teams/nwe/1960.htm" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">1960</a> as part of the AFL. At the time, they went as the Boston Patriots and claimed a division title in their 4th season.?</span></p>
<p style="text-align: center"><span style="font-weight: 400">Following the AFL-NFL joining forces to form one league, the Patriots changed their name from Boston to New England. A year later, on <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20150606193041/http://www.patriots.com/team/history/historical-dates" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">March 22nd</a>, they shifted base away from Boston and moved to Foxborough, where they are based even today.?</span></p>

<p style="text-align: center"><span style="font-weight: 400">In the next 30 years, the team experienced sporadic success. They won 4 divisional titles and just 2 Conference Championships.?</span></p>
<p style="text-align: center"><span style="font-weight: 400">However, their fortunes turned with the turn of the century. In the year 2000, two men arrived and helped kick-start a dynasty that ruled the NFL for 2 decades.</span></p>

<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Brady-Belichick era</b></h2>
<p style="text-align: center"><span style="font-weight: 400">The New England Patriots parted ways with Pete Carroll after 3 seasons and hired <a href="https://www.pro-football-reference.com/teams/nwe/coaches.htm" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">coach</a> Bill Belichick amid stunning circumstances. The current New England Patriots Head Coach <a href="https://youtu.be/AkcKAPdNbto" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">resigned</a> during his maiden New York Jets press conference and made the move up north to Massachusetts.</span></p>

<p style="text-align: center"><span style="font-weight: 400">At the draft later that year, New England used their 7th pick of the event to get Michigan prospect Tom Brady at with the overall pick no. 199. Fans expected Brady to be a backup to Drew Bledsoe. However, the youngster impressed in training and was handed the reins in his sophomore following an injury to the first choice. He turned his team?s fortunes and guided New England to the Super Bowl.?</span></p>

<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>New England Patriots Controversies?</strong></h2>
<p style="text-align: center"><span style="font-weight: 400">The New England Patriots were involved in one of the biggest controversies in the NFL.

<p style="text-align: center"><span style="font-weight: 400">The Patriots won the game and denied Russell Wilson back-to-back Super Bowl wins. Later, following an investigation, Tom Brady sat out for 4 games in the 2016 season before returning to claim his 5th Super Bowl.?</span></p>

<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>New England Patriots Owner Achievements</b></h2>
<p style="text-align: center"><span style="font-weight: 400">The team?s current owner is Robert Kraft. He purchased the Patriots stadium from Billy Sullivan in 1988. In doing so, he took the first step to getting hold of the team. 6 years later, Kraft claimed ownership.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: center"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-385629" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/20200921221141/kraft-1.jpg" alt="" width="1280" height="720" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center"><span style="font-weight: 400">The new owner broached the idea of relocation.

They won the AFC title in the <a href="https://www.pro-football-reference.com/boxscores/199701050nwe.htm" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">1996</a> NFL season. Hence they reached a second Super Bowl to end an 11-year drought.?</span></p>

<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>New England Patriots Logo</b></h2>
<p style="text-align: center"><span style="font-weight: 400">The New England Patriots? logo when they played in the AFL was of a hat. However, they opted for a change just a year later. Hence, the Pat Patriot logo came to the fore.?</span></p>
<p style="text-align: center"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-385630" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/20200921221224/logo-pat.jpg" alt="" width="1000" height="600" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center"><span style="font-weight: 400">The image of a revolutionary minuteman stayed on the New England Patriots crest for 23 years. At this point, the franchise developed the logo that is seen in the present day. They retained the tricorne hat in the logo and provide a side profile of what seems to be the minuteman.?</span></p>
<img class="aligncenter wp-image-527334 size-full" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/20210125181345/champ.jpg" alt="" width="1000" height="1000" />
<p style="text-align: center"><span style="font-weight: 400">The new <a href="https://sportslogohistory.com/new-england-patriots-primary-logo" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">logo</a> kept the colors of the national flag and has red stripes on the left, which gives the impression as though it is flying in the wind. Certain fans regard it as a '<em>Flying Elvis'.</em></span></p>
<p style="text-align: center"><span style="font-weight: 400">7 years later, they darkened the blue on the logo and it remains on their jersey as of the 2020 NFL season.?</span></p>

<h2 style="text-align: center">New England Patriots 2022 Sponsors</h2>
<p style="text-align: center">The Patriots and Fanatics signed a 10-year E-commerce partnership.

Moreover, Gulf Oil also announced a multi-year partnership with the Patriots to support fans with exclusive on-field experiences and opportunities to save at the pump.</p>
<p style="text-align: center">Fior de Cana was named official Rum partner of the New England Patriots. Fior de Cana came in as the premium rum from Nicaragua. A US-based company, Enel Group announced an agreement to become the official energy partner of the Kraft Sports+ Entertainment.</p>

New England Patriots

New England Patriots 2022: News, Schedule, Roster, Score, Injury Report The New England Patriots started playing professional football in 1960 as part of the AFL. At the time, they went as the Boston Patriots and claimed a division title in their 4th season.? Following the AFL-NFL joining forces to form one league, the Patriots changed their name from Boston to New England. A year later, on March 22nd, they shifted base away from Boston and moved to Foxborough, where they are based even today.? In the next 30 years, the team experienced sporadic success. They won 4 divisional titles and just 2 Conference Championships.? However, their fortunes turned with the turn of the century. In the year 2000, two men arrived and helped kick-start a dynasty that ruled the NFL for 2 decades. Brady-Belichick era The New England Patriots parted ways with Pete Carroll after 3 seasons and hired coach Bill Belichick amid stunning circumstances. The current New England Patriots Head Coach resigned during his maiden New York Jets press conference and made the move up north to Massachusetts.  At the draft later that year, New England used their 7th pick of the event to get Michigan prospect Tom Brady at with the overall pick no. 199. Fans expected Brady to be a backup to Drew Bledsoe. However, the youngster impressed in training and was handed the reins in his sophomore following an injury to the first choice. He turned his team?s fortunes and guided New England to the Super Bowl.? READ MORE-?A Look Back Into The NFL?s Biggest ?Steal? Tom Brady in the 2000 NFL Draft The New England Patriots won the game and reached eight more Super Bowl games over the next 18 years. The Brady-Belichick combination saw the New England Patriots claim six Super Bowl wins.? Furthermore, the team won the AFC East title in all but 1 season where Tom Brady started as the quarterback. This amounted to 17 titles in 19 seasons, from 2001 to 2019.? READ MORE-?Tom Brady ? A History of His Super Bowl Appearances Longtime quarterback and legendary No.12 Brady parted ways with the franchise following the 2019 NFL season. The New England Patriots&#8217; tie against Tennessee Titans marked the last game with the Brady-Belichick combination.?Now, the team has former NFL MVP Cam Newton as the quarterback as they embark on the post-Tom Brady era.? READ MORE- Cam Newton Signs with New England Patriots The franchise finished the 2020 campaign with a 7-9 record and placed third in the AFC East. They failed to qualify for the playoffs and finished the season with a losing record for the first time since 2000. New England Patriots Controversies? The New England Patriots were involved in one of the biggest controversies in the NFL. The franchise allegedly lowered the air pressure in footballs during the 2014 season&#8217;s AFC playoff game. This incident was coined as &#8216;Deflategate.&#8217; READ MORE-THROWBACK: The Scandalous Deflategate and the Fallout Faced By Star QB Tom Brady The Patriots won the game and denied Russell Wilson back-to-back Super Bowl wins. Later, following an investigation, Tom Brady sat out for 4 games in the 2016 season before returning to claim his 5th Super Bowl.? New England Patriots Owner Achievements The team?s current owner is Robert Kraft. He purchased the Patriots stadium from Billy Sullivan in 1988. In doing so, he took the first step to getting hold of the team. 6 years later, Kraft claimed ownership. The new owner broached the idea of relocation. Eventually, he remained at Foxborough, which may have won him the fans&#8217; support.?Under his supervision, the franchise has improved in leaps and bounds. They won the AFC title in the 1996 NFL season. Hence they reached a second Super Bowl to end an 11-year drought.? New England Patriots Logo The New England Patriots? logo when they played in the AFL was of a hat. However, they opted for a change just a year later. Hence, the Pat Patriot logo came to the fore.? The image of a revolutionary minuteman stayed on the New England Patriots crest for 23 years. At this point, the franchise developed the logo that is seen in the present day. They retained the tricorne hat in the logo and provide a side profile of what seems to be the minuteman.? The new logo kept the colors of the national flag and has red stripes on the left, which gives the impression as though it is flying in the wind. Certain fans regard it as a &#8216;Flying Elvis&#8217;. 7 years later, they darkened the blue on the logo and it remains on their jersey as of the 2020 NFL season.? New England Patriots 2022 Sponsors The Patriots and Fanatics signed a 10-year E-commerce partnership. The deal will have Fanatics operate the online and mobile retail merchandise business for the multiple-time chip winning team. Moreover, Gulf Oil also announced a multi-year partnership with the Patriots to support fans with exclusive on-field experiences and opportunities to save at the pump. Fior de Cana was named official Rum partner of the New England Patriots. Fior de Cana came in as the premium rum from Nicaragua. A US-based company, Enel Group announced an agreement to become the official energy partner of the Kraft Sports+ Entertainment.

<h3>NFL</h3>
<h3>History</h3>
In August 1920, representatives from four states: Akron, Canton, Cleveland, and Dayton, held a meeting and formed the American Professional Football Conference (APFC) to improve footballing standards in the country. A month later, they formed the American Professional Football Association (APFA) and played a league with 14 teams. In 1922, they changed the name to the National Football League (NFL).

In 1960, a new professional league, the American Football League (AFL) started as a competition against the NFL. After six years, in 1966, the two leagues announced a merger that would take effect in 1970. During the four years between the announcement and the actual merger, the leagues started playing a Championship game which was called The Super Bowl. Since then, the two leagues have been recognized as two separate conferences within the same league, the NFL.
<h3>Participating teams</h3>
There are 32 teams in the NFL divided equally into two conferences: National Football Conference (NFC) and the American Football Conference (AFC). Each conference is further divided into 4 divisions: East, North, South, and West, with each division containing four teams.
