The New England Patriots beat the Kansas City Chiefs 37-31 in an OT thriller at Arrowhead Stadium to advance to their third straight Super Bowl.

The Patriots led 14-0 at halftime, but the Chiefs came back in the second half, forcing overtime, but Rex Burkhead scored a TD on the first drive of OT as the Patriots got the victory.

Super Bowl 53 will feature the Patriots taking on the Los Angeles Rams, who edged the New Orleans Saints 26-23, also in OT, earlier on Sunday, marking the first time that both NFL conference championship games went to OT.

This will be Patriots QB Tom Brady’s ninth Super Bowl appearance of his career, looking for win number six. Brady’s first Super Bowl win was against these Rams, 17 years ago in Super Bowl 36.

The Brady-Belichick era continues in New England as the duo will play in their ninth Super Bowl in 18 seasons. Their record in the eight Super Bowls is 5-3.

New England tied the Pittsburgh Steelers for the most playoff wins at 36, and is the third team to ever make three Super Bowls in a row.

Super Bowl 53 goes Sunday, Feb. 3 in Atlanta on CBS in the U.S. and on CTV in Canada.
