The New England Patriots are heading to their 12th Super Bowl after defeating the Denver Broncos in the AFC Championship.

The Patriots squeaked out a 10-7 victory in the Mile High City as heavy snow and wind swirled, making for a defensive battle.

Jarrett Stidham, filling in for an injured Bo Nix, and Drake Maye, an NFL MVP candidate, both struggled in the weather. Stidham threw a TD pass but also fumbled deep in Denver territory that set up New England’s lone touchdown.

Maye was more effective with his feet than his arm. He had 65 yards and a TD.

The Patriots will next take on the winner of the Seattle Seahawks-Los Angeles Rams NFC Championship game.
