American football dynasty the New England Patriots have been compared to the Beatles for having the same leading lights for more than a generation.
"Imagine what the Beatles would have accomplished if they had two decades together instead of one," said Jeff Benedict, the writer of a new Apple TV+ docuseries on the sporting franchise which had the same leading figures for two decades.
"The Dynasty: New England Patriots" tells the story of the Boston-area sporting juggernaut's dominance between 2002 and 2019.
Once a team of "losers", the "Pats", with their star quarterback Tom Brady, won a total of six Super Bowls, and fell just short at three ill-fated finals.
