Watching your dreams come true is the biggest blessing and I love you!!!!!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Patriots advanced to the NFL\u2019s championship game by defeating the Denver Broncos, 10-7, in the AFC Championship game on Sunday, January 25. Drake, 23, threw for only 86 yards in the win, but also scored the team\u2019s lone touchdown and scrambled for the game-deciding first down in the final moments.<\/p>\n<p>After the game, Ann, 22, joined Drake on the field, where the two exchanged hugs and posed for photos. As video of the celebration began circulating, some fans noticed that Drake appeared distracted while Ann was trying to congratulate him.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHis body language is throwing me off,\u201d one fan wrote via Instagram. \u201cThis was hard to watch. She was so excited for him.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Another added, \u201cHe looks like he couldn\u2019t care less that she\u2019s there \u2013 and this is coming from a die hard patriots fan. It hardly looks like a couple celebrating going to the Super Bowl. Awkward.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Once the adrenaline of the game wore off and Drake was able to look back on his team\u2019s accomplishment, he was able to put the victory into perspective.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s a new team, it\u2019s a new era,\u201d he told reporters. \u201cI respect and appreciate what the Patriots dynasty did, and unfortunately, they didn\u2019t come out with some wins here, but we changed that narrative and look forward to bringing our best football to Santa Clara. That\u2019ll be pretty special.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Ann, meanwhile, has won the hearts of Patriots fans as her husband\u2019s biggest supporter. She wore a custom jacket to the game that featured Drake\u2019s name, an illustrated photo of him, and his jersey number. It matched other Patriots WAGs, who wore similar gear.<\/p>\n<div id=\"news-block\">\n<div class=\"newsletter-form  \">\n<div class=\"newsletter-signup__success\" aria-live=\"polite\">\n<h3>Thank You!<\/h3>\n<p>You have successfully subscribed.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p>\u201cAnd one for the girls!!!!!!\ud83d\udc4f\ud83d\udc4f\ud83d\udc4f\u2764\ufe0f\u2764\ufe0f\u2764\ufe0f,\u201d Ann wrote via Instagram on Tuesday, January 27, alongside a group photo that also included <strong>Parker Henry<\/strong>, wife of Patriots tight end <strong>Hunter Henry<\/strong>, punter <strong>Bryce Baringer<\/strong>\u2019s wife <strong>Bella<\/strong>, and linebacker <strong>Jahlani Tavai<\/strong>\u2019s partner, <strong>Kalei Mau<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>The Patriots now have a week off before they face the Seattle Seahawks in the Super Bowl on February 8.
