Live updates: Patriots beat Broncos in AFC Championship, advance to Super Bowl 60

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.
