The 1963 Boston Patriots season was the third season for the team in the American Football League. During their first season at Fenway Park, (switching from Nickerson Field), the Patriots stood around the .500 mark all season, as they were able to clinch a spot in the playoffs, with a victory on their final game. A loss of 35–3 with the Kansas City Chiefs created a divisional playoffs with the Buffalo Bills. With a win over the Bills of 26–8, the Patriots moved on to the championship series to the San Diego Chargers, who defeated the Patriots, ending their season by winning 51–10.

“In Boston they ask, “How much does he know?” In New York, “How much is he worth?” In Philadelphia, “Who were his parents?””
—Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)
“The American people is out to get the kaiser. We are bending every nerve and every energy towards that end; anybody who gets in the way of the great machine the energy and devotion of a hundred million patriots is building towards the stainless purpose of saving civilization from the Huns will be mashed like a fly. I’m surprised that a collegebred man like you hasn’t more sense. Don’t monkey with the buzzsaw.”
—John Dos Passos (1896–1970)
“Let us have a good many maples and hickories and scarlet oaks, then, I say. Blaze away! Shall that dirty roll of bunting in the gun-house be all the colors a village can display? A village is not complete, unless it have these trees to mark the season in it. They are important, like the town clock. A village that has them not will not be found to work well. It has a screw loose, an essential part is wanting.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
