Patriots Trounce Colts, Head To Super Bowl XLIX Versus Seahawks
ResumeThe New England Patriots are heading back to the Super Bowl. In case you missed it Sunday night, they trounced the Indianapolis Colts with a 45-7 win at Gillette Stadium to capture the AFC title. It was the second most lopsided championship win ever and it means the Pats are now preparing for the Seattle Seahawks in Super Bowl XLIX Feb. 1 in Arizona.
But first comes word of a possible scandal that Twitter users are dubbing #deflategate. The NFL is investigating whether the Patriots deflated footballs in Sunday night's game.
