The team flew home in its signature "AirKraft" custom plane.

Buses arrived back at Gillette Stadium around 5 a.m.

Sunday night the Patriots needed overtime against the Chiefs. Rex Burkhead's touchdown in the extra session sent New England to a showdown against the Los Angeles Rams in Super Bowl LIII on February 3.
