The Patriots were able to take advantage of the Texans' problems throughout the day, with both teams committing eight turnovers in the game in New England.
Texas quarterback C.J. Stroud was often pressured behind an injury-depleted offensive line and had four interceptions in the first half alone.
Patriots cornerback Drake May had his own problems, throwing the ball four times and losing two of them.He managed to score three touchdowns and win in front of the New England crowd.
The Patriots will be playing in the AFC Championship for the first time since Tom Brady led them to their last Super Bowl victory in the 2018 season.New England and Denver are the only teams other than Seattle to win 14 games this season, so next week's matchup will be the best chance outside of the top-ranked Ducks to reach the Super Bowl.
In Chicago, the Rams survived a thrilling stretch against the Bears, even though Williams threw one of the most game-changing, fourth-down plays you'll ever see late in the fourth quarter:
But Williams gives and Williams takes.Going into overtime gave the Rams a chance to win by just a field goal and set up a rubber match with the Seahawks.
