The New England Patriots are on the doorstep of their first Super Bowl appearance in seven years.

How many Super Bowls have the Patriots won in their franchise history?

New England is tied with the Pittsburgh Steelers for the league record in Super Bowl victories, and no team has been to more Super Bowls than the Patriots have. The team is aiming for its record-extending 12th Super Bowl appearance when it faces the Denver Broncos in the AFC championship game on Sunday, Jan. 25.
