That makes for an absolutely stunning finish to an otherwise unremarkable game. We're down to 6, I think. And this is the best possible way to go into the playoffs. The Patriots win, and then they get the Ravens in the divisional round. It's either that or they beat Jacksonville and go to Pittsburgh. Who knows what's going to happen from there, but it's a great spot. I imagine the Jets will have a harder time than they might have wanted in a first-round game against the Ravens.
That's Baltimore and New England through. Seattle and Miami are just winning to finish out. The Dolphins are done in the first round, which means Buffalo will host a rematch of last year's AFC championship game.
