Mike Vrabel and the New England Patriots advanced to Super Bowl 60 by beating the Denver Broncos 10-7 in the AFC Championship Game on Jan. 25 in Denver.
Vrabel, in his first season as the Patriots' head coach, led them to the AFC East division title and the No. 2 seed in the conference, then beat the Los Angeles Chargers , Houston Texans and Broncos.
They will play the winner of the NFC Championship Game between the LA Rams and Seattle Seahawks ; the Super Bowl is Feb. 8 at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, California.
Several former Tennessee Titans players and assistant coaches will be in the Super Bowl as members of the Patriots — no surprise, given that Vrabel is 24 months removed from being the Titans ' coach.

What former Titans players will play in Super Bowl 2026 with Patriots, Mike Vrabel
EDGE Harold Landry III
Landry had 50.5 sacks in six seasons over seven years (missing 2022 because of a torn ACL) with the Titans, four seasons of which he had nine or more sacks. The 2018 second-round pick was released last offseason, and the Patriots signed him. Landry had 8.5 sacks in 15 games this season, though he missed the AFC Championship Game with a knee injury.
Hooper spent one season with the Titans in 2022, then a year with the Raiders before signing with the Patriots prior to the 2024 season. He has been a dependable TE2 behind Hunter Henry .
LB Jack Gibbens
Gibbens made a good impression as an undrafted free agent in 2022 and was the Titans' starting linebacker by the 2023 season. He suffered a season-ending ankle injury in 2024, and he signed with the Patriots in free agency. Gibbens has been a rotational part of the Patriots' defense, totaling 81 tackles and eight TFL during the regular season.
Spillane was a training camp darling in 2018 but was released during Vrabel's first season in Nashville. He signed with the Steelers in 2019, became a key rotational player and then signed with the Raiders in 2023. He started all 34 games in two seasons in Las Vegas . This season, Spillane started 13 games and returned from injury at the start of postseason.
QB Josh Dobbs
Dobbs started the final two games of the 2022 season for the Titans, then bounced around with a couple of teams before landing in New England last offseason to back up Drake Maye .
