Brady retired after the 2022 season, ending an era of unparalleled success. The Patriots face a new chapter with Drake Maye at quarterback and fresh ambitions. Will New England recapture championship glory? Experts debate whether the franchise can match its historic success.
The six Super Bowl rings will forever cement Patriots history among the greatest dynasties in professional sports. Whether tied with Pittsburgh represents a milestone or an endpoint remains to be seen in coming seasons.
