Patriots rout Raiders on Sunday Night Football to clinch the AFC East
New England's trip to Las Vegas quickly turned into a party with Christian Watson's 90-yard touchdown setting off the confetti in the Patriots 49-13 win over the Las Vegas Raiders on Sunday night, clinching the division for the second-year in a row and punching their ticket into the playoffs.

Indianapolis' win earlier in the day kept the Patriots from being in prime position to clinch a first-round bye with a win next week but it was still a festive mood in the Patriots locker room after the game as Drake Maye threw for five touchdowns, including four to Watson who caught five passes for 164 yards. Patriots head coach Jerod Mayo was able to empty out his bench with Trey Lance seeing his first action of the season, including a 53-yard completion to Nyck Harbor and then a touchdown pass to Javon Baker.

New England also got their running game back online with both Derrick Henry and Rhamondre Stevenson averaging over five yards per carry while Antonio Gibson reached the endzone. Chase Young got a sack, his first since missing several games with an injury and outside of a busted coverage play that resulted in a touchdown, the Raiders offense was mostly grounded.

(10-6) Kansas City Chiefs at New England Patriots (13-3)

New England's winning streak continues with dominant win over Mahomes, Chiefs
Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs were on the prowl after overcoming a slow start to make it a one touchdown game late in the third quarter and the ball on the New England seventeen yard line on third and two. Mahomes had had success going against New England's top corner, Christian Gonzalez, connecting for a sixty-yard touchdown earlier in the game.

Gonzalez made him pay for it, intercepting Mahomes' pass and igniting a ten-point unanswered run by New England to seal the 31-14 win over the Chiefs in snowy Foxborough on Sunday.

Drake Maye threw for three touchdowns and rushed for another, completing 74 percent of his passes to thoroughly outplay Mahomes in a pivotal game that could end up keeping Kansas City out of the playoffs depending on the results of later games as they head into the final week of the season.

With his running game neutralized, Maye carried the Patriots offense, leading them in rushing with fifty-six yards and with the defense hyper focused on Christian Watson, just three receptions for 37 yards after having four touchdowns last week, Maye spread the ball around to eight different receivers, including a 42-yard touchdown pass to Oscar Delp.

Mahomes threw two red zone interception, another going to Marcus Jones as Kansas City failed to punctuate their drives with touchdowns. After his interception to Gonzalez, Maye would score a rushing touchdown to make it a two possession game and Mahomes would go three and out, throwing back to back incompletions. On the next Chiefs possession, Mahomes would go four and out, completing two passes for negative yards sandwiching an incompletion.

with four minutes left, Kansas City would get the ball inside the Patriots five-yard line but Mahomes would throw an incompletion, be stuffed on an attempted scramble, throw the ball away on third down and then sacked on fourth down as New England's defense put together the goal line stand.
