Patriots survive Broncos, blizzard to advance to Super Bowl

The New England Patriots pull off a 10-7 victory over the Denver Broncos in the AFC Championship game. It was a wild contest that took place in a blizzard, but New England got the job done to punch its ticket to the Super Bowl.

Mike Vrabel and his Patriots ended the game thanks to a gutsy play call from offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels. New England ran a bootleg run with quarterback Drake Maye, who beat a Broncos defender to get the first down. It allowed the team to kneel out the clock and earn the victory.

A time-lapse video that was shown on the broadcast and on social media revealed exactly how crazy the conditions were on the field. In the clip, you can see just how quickly the snow took over the game.
