A limited number of tickets to the Jan. 20 AFC Championship Game at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough go on sale to the general public on Thursday, Jan. 17.
How do you get tickets for the AFC Championship? For the ninth time in 20 playoff appearances, the New England Patriots are just one game from advancing to the Super Bowl. That game will be played at Gillette Stadium on Sunday, Jan. 20 at 6:30 p.m. against the Baltimore Ravens. It is the second consecutive season the Patriots and Ravens will meet in the AFC Championship game at Gillette Stadium.

Here's your chance to sound off on the quality of the officiating in the NFL and what you think should be done about it.
If you're a local football fan, the New England Patriots' controversial Sunday Night loss to the Baltimore Ravens probably left you with a bad taste in your mouth and a strong opinion about the status of officiating in the NFL. The much-discussed replacement referee issue was forced front-row center again Monday night when a nationally-televised game between the Seattle Seahawks and the Green Bay Packers appeared to be determined by an incorrect call made by a team of back-up officials. So, we have to ask - what do you think about the quality of officiating in the NFL? Do you think the league owes it to the players, owners and fans to put the best product on the field, no matter what it costs? Should League Commissioner Roger Goodell …

A final-seconds Hail Mary pass by New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady fails to connect, and the New York Giants win Super Bowl XLVI.
Middletown seems very quiet this winter's evening, as local New England Patriots fans ponder a final score that fell short. Whether you watched from a friend's house, a local restaurant or bar, or your own living room sofa, it was hard to watch time run out for the New England Patriots. It would have been the fourth Super Bowl win for the Patriots had things gone a little bit differently in Indianapolis tonight. The New York Giants won the game, just as they had the last time these two teams met in a Super Bowl, four years ago. In 2008, the score was NY 24, NE 17. The website of the New England Patriots has a complete game recap. However, if you're a Giants fan--and there are more than a few on Aquidneck Island, given Newport's long ties …
Imagine being a Giants' fan and being surrounded by Patriots' fans at work? It's a reality for one local manager.
Imagine being the only New York Giants' fan in your workplace during the week before the Super Bowl? For Clements' Market store manager David Perry, this has become reality. Perry, one of only a few Giants' fans at Clements' Market, has heard a few jokes and comments against his favorite team, but that hasn't stopped him from keeping his Giants' helmet in his office this week leading up to the big game. We spoke with Perry this week about his team and why they have a shot at a Super Bowl win. A fellow co-worker might have played a little trick during the filming, which can be seen in the video above. Perry had no idea what was behind him during filming. The Patriots will take on the New York Giants at Super Bowl XLVI this Sunday, Feb. 5…
