Can also clinch with tie and loss by Pittsburgh, tie and Houston loss or tie, tie and Tennessee loss or tie, losses by Houston and Indianapolis or tie and Oakland-Tennessee tie. The Chiefs’ offense will be trying to get back on track against a New England defense that has allowed just 64 points over the last five contests.STREAKS, STATS AND NOTES - New England can extend its NFL record to 11 consecutive playoff berths with win. While Kansas City started the season 6-1 on the strength of its excellent defense, the team has lost four of its last six games. That’s been especially true in recent games. But Kansas City needs to win its last four games (and get a little help) to wrestle the AFC’s top postseason seed away from the Baltimore Ravens.īut while the Chiefs are now in a position that many teams would find enviable, their offense has performed below expectations most of the team’s losses have been the result of offensive penalties, dropped passes and turnovers. Now New England hosts the 8-5 Chiefs, who are almost certain to make the postseason - and are very likely to win their eighth consecutive AFC West title. Zappe’s first start didn’t go well - New England fell to the Los Angeles Chargers 6-0 - but in Week 13, Zappe threw for 240 yards and three touchdowns (along with an interception) as the Patriots defeated the Pittsburgh Steelers 21-18. The team ranks 32nd in points scored - and in Wfourth-round pick Bailey Zappe took over as the starting quarterback when Mac Jones was benched. In 2023, the Patriots have already been eliminated from the postseason. In those 30 years, New England made the postseason 22 times, appearing in 10 Super Bowls and winning six championships.īut things are different now. For the next three decades - under Parcells, Pete Carroll and current head coach Bill Belichick - no NFL team had a better record. The following year, the team installed Bill Parcells as its head coach. Why? Because the 3-10 Patriots are having their worst season since 1992, when New England finished the season 2-14. This matchup was originally scheduled to be Week 15’s “Monday Night Football” game - but on November 30, we learned that the NFL was flexing the game into Sunday’s early slate, allowing the league to move this weekend’s Philadelphia Eagles- Seattle Seahawks game into MNF. ![]() All it takes is an email address and a few minutes of your time each week.
