The emotional rollercoaster

Fan misery across the game window. Up is worse.

What happened

A 10-7 conference championship is no one's idea of art, but L.Taylor's blocked field goal on W.Lutz and C.Gonzalez's interception of J.Stidham in the final three minutes mean New England is going to the Super Bowl anyway. D.Maye's 28-yard scramble was the closest thing to a signature offensive moment, which is its own kind of warning. Two weeks of football left, and the defense is going to have to do this again.

What fans said

• “The haters said Stidham couldn't do it. And they were correct. Honestly, great call from the haters”
