Patriots Blog: A Little Help From Indy
BOSTON (CBS) - The New England Patriots got a little help from the Indianapolis Colts last night.
The Houston Texans lost to Colts 19-16 Thursday night, giving the AFC playoff picture a very different look Friday morning. Here are how the teams stand:
1. Patriots -- 11-3
2. Ravens -- 10-4
3. Texans -- 10-5
4. Broncos -- 8-6
5. Steelers -- 10-4
6. Jets -- 8-6
Now if the Pats tie or beat the Dolphins, they will clinch a first round bye. They can clinch home field throughout the playoffs with a win and a Pittsburgh loss or tie or a Ravens loss or tie.
Watch: Gresh & Zo Whiteboard
To keep it simple, if the Pats win out they have home field throughout the playoffs.
They had that last year, let's hope for a better outcome.
