"As has become an enjoyable ritual for Patriots fans in the 2025 season, New England was quick to share a clip from Mike Vrabel and the team celebrating the victory inside the locker room. The version that followed Sunday's 16-3 wild-card win over the Chargers was understandably excited and jubilant. Vrabel even made a joke about the last man back to the locker room as he settled in to address the team."
""I want to tell you this: We're a team, and we're going to do this thing together, and everybody here is a part of it," Vrabel added. The Patriots will play either the Texans or Steelers (who face each other on Monday night) in the upcoming divisional round of the AFC playoffs. New England's head coach closed with a statement about his happiness at still being able to come prepare for another football game for at least one more week."
New England celebrated a 16-3 wild-card victory over the Chargers with an exuberant locker-room scene led by coach Mike Vrabel. Vrabel joked about rookie kicker Andy Borregales being the last player back to the locker room and then moved to a serious message of pride and unity. He stressed toughness and a willingness to "spill some blood," referenced a bloody lip from a celebratory headbutt, and declared that the team will face the big challenges in January together. Vrabel urged the players to enjoy the moment and prepare for the upcoming divisional-round opponent, either the Texans or Steelers.
