Texans lose lastnight.

That loss coupled with Pits loss to SF and all the Pats have to do is win and they are the #1 seed as I understand it.

How did that happen?
they were winning by one point with 2 minutes to go and I thought they had the ball????

pretty sure the Pats have to win both games left and yes, they would have the #1 seed

What airline? You might be able to watch it in flight. Have a safe trip and enjoy the time with your family.

Conservatism is not about leaving people behind. Conservatism is about empowering people to catch up, to give them tools at their disposal that make it possible for them to access all the hope, all the promise, all the opportunity that America offers. - Marco Rubio

Here's what I found:

The Patriots can actually earn the No. 1 seed this week. All they need to do is beat the Miami Dolphins, and hope that the Ravens lose to the Cleveland Browns and the Steelers lose to the St. Louis Rams.

If that doesn't work, the Patriots only need to beat the Buffalo Bills in Week 17 to clinch the No. 1 seed.

If the Patriots lose either one of their final two games, they stand to lose the No. 1 seed to the Ravens due to a strength of victory tiebreaker if both teams finish 12-4. If the Steelers finish 12-4 and win the AFC North, they'll have the edge over the Patriots because they beat them earlier this season.

If the Patriots lose both of their final two games, they'll need the Texans, Ravens and Steelers to all finish 10-6. They probably shouldn't risk that.

Hard to believe the Texans lost last night in the final minute after getting a field goal and a 4 point lead with about 2 min. to go , crazy that Indy could drive down the field and score a TD
oh well, that's the nfl

I don't think there is much chance of the Rams beating the Steelers this week, they are another team in the Luck sweepstakes

Our best shot is win out

I'll be there tomorrow with my wife, her first game ever
