In two weeks’ time, the New England Patriots will look to take a page out of the Boston Red Sox’s book.
Following their thrilling victory Sunday night over the Kansas City Chiefs, the Patriots are set to square off with the Los Angeles Rams in Super Bowl LIII. It will represent the second Boston-Los Angeles championship matchup in the last four months, with the Red Sox’s World Series victory over the Dodgers being the first.
