The Patriots are enjoying an outstanding season, and much of that success can be attributed to two key additions. New England brought on head coach Mike Vrabel and signed wide receiver Stefon Diggs during free agency this offseason.

The Patriots became the fourth team to clinch a division title, the Browns kept the Ravens alive and the 49ers moved closer toward a No. 1 seed.

The Patriots are headed to the playoffs, but who will they play? Here's a look at New England's potential playoff opponents.

The lone turnover of the game came on an interception by Patriots safety Jaylinn Hawkins, who undercut a route to pick off Jets quarterback Brady Cook in the first quarter.

The Patriots are AFC East champions. With their 42–10 victory over the Jets on Sunday—coupled by the Bills’ loss to the Eagles in Buffalo —New England clinched the division for the first time since 2019, a remarkable turnaround for a team that won just four games a season ago.

With the AFC’s No. 1 seed still up for grabs, the NFL opted to schedule the game at the same time as Broncos-Chargers.
