<p>The Patriots’ 13-3 victory over Los Angeles Rams in Super Bowl LIII on Sunday tied the Pittsburgh Steelers’ record for the most championships.</p>
<p>“It’s sweet,” Belichick told CBS. “Everybody counted us out from the beginning of the season, mid-season, but we’re still here.”</p>

<p>Belichick and Brady first combined for the Vince Lombardi Trophy in 2001. Wins followed in 2003, 2004, 2014, 2016 and Sunday night’s at the Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta was the latest success.</p>
<p>The lowest-scoring contest in the 53rd edition of the NFL’s showpiece final was built on defence – and Brady’s experienced leadership.</p>
<p>The 41-year-old threw for 262 yards and engineered the game’s only touchdown drive as Sony Michel punched the ball in to give New England the lead midway through the fourth quarter.</p>

<p>Brady told CBS: “It was an unbelievable year. We just fought through it more so than anything.</p>
<p>“It’s unbelievable to win this game. They played so well, the Rams’ defense they played their butts off.</p>
<p>“What a great defense, they had a great plan. They made it tough on every play.</p>
<p>“We just kept fighting and finally got a touchdown. The (Patriots) defense played the best game of the year.”</p>

<p>Julian Edelman – voted MVP with 141 yards receiving – and Rob Gronkowski also shined for New England.</p>
<p>The pair had 228 of New England’s 262 receiving yards, with both nabbing key receptions in the touchdown drive.</p>
<p>Starting at their own 31, the veteran quarterback found Gronkowski with a short pass for 19 yards, then, out of the gun, hit Edelman for a 13-yard completion.</p>
<p>Now at the Rams’ 38-yard line, Brady found Rex Burkhead with a short seven-yard pass before finding 87 again as Gronkowski beat two defenders to finish two yards shy.</p>
<p>This was the only redzone visit of the night and Michel took advantage of good blocking to score his sixth post-season touchdown.</p>

<p>Plaudits should also go to the New England defence, who contained Jared Goff to just 229 yards and the Rams to just three points – having scored an average of 32.9 per game in the regular season.</p>
<p>The strong Patriots defensive performance was capped off when Stephon Gilmore read Goff and secured a pick on the New England two-yard line with just over four minutes remaining.</p>
<p>Greg Zuerlein’s field goal was the Rams’ only score all night as the Patriots found the end zone for a 10-3 lead with seven minutes left.</p>
<p>Stephen Gostkowski made it a two-score game late in the fourth when he converted a 41-yard attempt.</p>
<p>For the Rams, it was do or die – and there was no way through the Patriots.</p>
<p>Rams head coach Sean McVey took responsibility for the defeat.</p>
