Pats to honor 1985 AFC championship team Sunday

FOXBORO, Mass. -- The New England Patriots will honor the 20th anniversary of its 1985 AFC championship team on Sunday before the final regular-season game against the Miami Dolphins at Gillette Stadium.

The 1985 squad snapped an 18-game losing streak in south Florida during the AFC championship game that season and earned the franchise's first-ever trip to the Super Bowl. The Super Bowl didn't turn out so well, with a 46-10 loss to the Chicago Bears, but the team generated a lot of excitement for its fans by winning three road playoff games to get to the big game.
