How newspaper front pages captured the Patriots’ 6th Super Bowl title
We're pretty sure we've seen these headlines before.
Newspaper editors around the United States must have felt déjà vú five times over when they prepared their front page headlines for Monday morning.
The Patriots defeated the Los Angeles Rams 13-3 in Super Bowl LIII on the way to the team’s sixth title, tying the Pittsburgh Steelers for the most all-time Super Bowl wins.
Here’s a look at how newspapers around the country depicted yet another Patriots Super Bowl win with Tom Brady and Bill Belichick at the helm of the dynasty:
The Boston Globe:
The Globe refutes the notion that Patriots fans are bored with their team winning so often. “The dynasty rolls on,” emphasizes satisfaction with another job well done, and the sports page adds that winning, even in a city that seems to win so often, never gets old.

The Los Angeles Times:
The Rams’ hometown paper did not take it easy on the Rams, despite an overall great season that hinted at just the start of another great coaching-quarterback duo in head coach Sean McVay and quarterback Jared Goff.
@VeniceMase @LAIreland I have a huge problem with this headline, LA Times is a hack job, just threw the team under the bus in the city they play in after a great season, many other headlines can be used to get the point of inept play across. pic.twitter.com/Ns9oX2S03y

Worcester’s Telegram and Gazette:
The Telegram and Gazette’s sports page reads “Sixth Sense,” in part a reference to M. Night Shymalayan’s 1999 thriller The Sixth Sense. They may be on to something – Tom Brady’s continued success appears more and more incredible each year.

New Orleans’ The Times-Picayune:
Saints fans remain disgruntled with the very existence of Super Bowl LIII after officials failed to call pass interference against the Rams late in the NFC Championship game during a play that likely would have changed the entire outcome of the game. Saints fans took to the streets of New Orleans Sunday to protest the Super Bowl and the city’s newspaper played coy when it came to recapping the game at all.

The New York Times:
Football fans were treated to the lowest-scoring Super Bowl in history Sunday night, and the Times was not afraid to call out the game’s lack of offense.

The Post appeared to take a note from the Boston Herald on Monday – the Patriots gaining yet another Super Bowl ring feels real familiar by now.
