Despite mounting injuries as the season progressed, 2015 saw the franchise win 12 games or better for the sixth consecutive season and a berth in the AFC Championship for the fifth straight year. Fans were witness to the emergence of a growing young defense and quarterback Tom Brady, at age 38, chasing yet another MVP award following the Deflategate story that\u00a0occupied his off season. Now, we take a look back on the season that was through its best social media posts.<\/p>\n<p>The season began with two celebrations in Patriots Nation. The first was the unveiling of the fourth Super Bowl championship banner in Foxboro on Opening Night. The second, was the vacated four game suspension of quarterback Tom Brady allowing him back on the field where he belonged.<\/p>\n<p>The national audience was treated to this card showing by the Foxboro Faithful.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">A friendly reminder from the <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Patriots?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@Patriots<\/a> that they are the Super Bowl XLIX Champs <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/NFLKickoff?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#NFLKickoff<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/PITvsNE?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#PITvsNE<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/t.co\/rOEBBjbxHA\">pic.twitter.com\/rOEBBjbxHA<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Sunday Night Football on NBC (@SNFonNBC) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/SNFonNBC\/status\/642136346463707136?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">September 11, 2015<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">THIS is the banner the <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Patriots?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@Patriots<\/a> would have unveiled tonight if Tom Brady did not play <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/nflnetwork?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@nflnetwork<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/t.co\/VemK9oNyY6\">pic.twitter.com\/VemK9oNyY6<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; melissa stark (@melissastark) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/melissastark\/status\/642098353594060800?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">September 10, 2015<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Patriots Championship Banner Unveiling 2015\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/yjzzeH611_I?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>The Patriots would win the game against the Pittsburgh Steelers 28-21, but Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin made these very bizarre accusations following the game that gave berth to yet another &#8220;cheating&#8221; story #HeadsetGate.
