The Patriots fended off the Texans in a turnover-filled, snowy battle on Sunday afternoon in Foxborough.
It’s almost time for the conference championship games.
The New England Patriots beat the Houston Texans on Sunday afternoon at Gillette Stadium to wrap up the AFC side of things in the divisional round. That officially set up a matchup with the Denver Broncos next weekend to determine who from the conference will be heading to Super Bowl LX.
The Broncos survived a thrilling battle with the Buffalo Bills on Saturday to secure their spot in the conference title game, but they lost quarterback Bo Nix in the process. Nix suffered a broken bone in his right ankle on the second-to-last play of the game, and will now be out for the rest of the season. That means that Jarrett Stidham will start instead.
On the other side, the Seattle Seahawks are awaiting either the Los Angeles Rams or Chicago Bears to determine the NFC. The Seahawks rolled over the San Francisco 49ers in a blowout in their divisional round matchup on Saturday night.
