Patriots Make Unfortunate History In Super Bowl LX Loss Vs. Seahawks
The New England Patriots faced a tough 29-13 loss to the Seattle Seahawks in Super Bowl LX on Sunday night, marking a disappointing chapter in their history.
With this defeat, the Patriots now hold the record for the most Super Bowl losses, at six, putting them one game ahead of the Denver Broncos.
Their previous five Super Bowl losses include Super Bowl XX on Jan. 26, 1986, against the Chicago Bears; Super Bowl XXXI on Jan. 27, 1997, where they fell to the Green Bay Packers; Super Bowl XLII on Feb. 3, 2008, to the New York Giants; Super Bowl XLVI on Feb. 5, 2012, again against the Giants; and Super Bowl LII on Feb. 4, 2018, when they lost to the Philadelphia Eagles.
With New England appearing in the Super Bowl 12 times, it was only a matter of time before it set the record for the most losses in the game’s history. However, the Patriots are also tied with the Pittsburgh Steelers for the most Super Bowl wins in history, with six.
Although the Patriots couldn’t win this season’s Super Bowl, the future looks promising with quarterback Drake Maye and head coach Mike Vrabel at the helm. Perhaps next season, New England will return to the big stage, aiming to secure the title of the team with the most Super Bowl victories in NFL history.
