How do the Raiders match up with the Patriots in the AFC?

Denver leads all-time series, 26-20.

The next four teams in the poll: the Giants, Seahawks, Steelers and Falcons, each of whom moved up a spot.

On Sunday in Denver, the Pats D got three turnovers to hold the Broncos to nothing more than a first-quarter field goal in a 16-3 victory. With losses in six of their last 10 games, four of their last six and three of their last four since their Week 11 bye, they’re heading in the wrong direction.

The Chiefs are still alive in the battle for the AFC West but they have need the help of other teams.

According to Mike Silver of NFL.com, a locker room brawl almost broke out between the offense and the defense after the game before the media came in, with Russell Okung trying to stand up and deliver a speech and Aqib Talib having none of it.

The slump has led the Denver Broncos into playoff scenario confusion.

“I thought he was just one of the very best to play the position”, he said. If the Patriots do finish with the top playoff seed, it seems that only an unforeseen catastrophe could prevent the Patriots from making the trip to Houston for Super Bowl LI.

“Tom Brady is looking more and more like this year’s MVP, and the Patriots are punching their ticket to home-field advantage in the AFC and a likely run to Super Bowl 51″, Newsday’s Bob Glauber said. But this year, that might not be enough.

New England’s LeGarrette Blount set a single-season franchise record with his 15th rushing touchdown.

Two drives later, the Broncos would tie the game at 3-3 following the Patriot defense stopping the Broncos at the Patriot 15. Brady was 0-6 in the first quarter and took some good shots from Broncos pass-rushers. That was actually worse that Broncos’ QB Trevor Siemian, who was 25 for 40 for 282 yards with an interception for a rating of 73.1. With 64 tackles, 2.5 sacks and one forced fumble he has helped Bill Belichick’s defense – which is now the No. 1 scoring defense in the National Football League – round into form. And another loss for the Dolphins is good news for the Broncos. Brady would not complete a pass until the second quarter.

“We’ve never seen someone play at the level of Tom Brady at this level and for this long”, said the head of New England Patriots Nation. Only this time, the meeting was before and after the game, not during it.

Flowers finished with two sacks Sunday to bring his season total to seven. “Is our package maybe as expanded as it has been in the past, no, but I think we can get there if he continues to progress the way that he is doing”. The nature of Green’s concussion would put him in doubt for the Broncos’ game Sunday at Kansas City. And the New England Patriots, so far, have survived it all.

Siemian kept grooving down the field, starting from deep in his own territory, but hooking up with Thomas and even, he exists, Jeff Heuerman for plays of 31 and nine yards. While there are teams that could beat New England there-the Pittsburgh Steelers and Oakland Raiders are probably the only two-it’s still hard to beat them at home.

Broncos TE A.J. Derby. Our goals can now be reset, that was the first one, to win the division.

It was just Brady’s third win in 10 games at Denver and his first at Sports Authority Field at Mile High since 2011, when the Denver quarterback was Tim Tebow.

New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady passes against the Denver Broncos during the first half of an NFL football game Sunday, Dec. 18, 2016, in Denver. There is still two more games left to be played. And Brock Osweiler was just a game manager. He has thrown for 300 yards, with no interceptions, in each of the past two games.

“You could just tell guys were talking and communicating”, McCourty said. And New England boasts LaGarrette Blount.
