"The New England Patriots earned the right to celebrate after punching their ticket to Super Bowl LX in Santa Clara, California. By the sound of it, the team's head coach, Mike Vrabel, admittedly agrees with this sentiment. A three-time champion as a player (with New England), Vrabel knows how hard it is to reach this point. He understood the Patriots were eager to bear the fruits of their labor after a hard-fought 10-7 AFC Championship Game victory over the Denver Broncos."
"'No curfew tonight,' Williams said (h/t Yahoo Sports' Jori Epstein). 'But the bus leaving at eight in the morning, so if you ain't on it, you ain't playing in the [Super Bowl].' Any Patriot who parties too hard won't get to suit up in the Big Game. Test Vrabel at your own peril. Nevertheless, Williams emphasized that this was the message delivered to him and his New England comrades."
The New England Patriots earned a Super Bowl LX berth after a hard-fought 10-7 AFC Championship win over the Denver Broncos. Head coach Mike Vrabel permitted players to celebrate with 'no curfew' but imposed a firm condition: the team bus leaves at 8 a.m., and any player not aboard will not play in the Super Bowl. Defensive tackle Milton Williams relayed the message to reporters. New England completed an NFL-first 9-0 road record this season and ended a three-year playoff drought, reaching the Super Bowl for the first time since 2018. Vrabel urged measured celebration with focus on the final goal.
