The New England Patriots are all but guaranteed a spot in the 2014 playoffs, the question now is weather or not the road to the Super Bowl will be through Foxborough. Currently the Patriots hold the number one seed in the AFC earning a bye and home field advantage throughout. Week 14 will be arguably the most important for them because it will have huge ramifications come the playoffs. If the Chargers (8-4) somehow manage to win this matchup on Sunday night, the Patriots will be more than just knocked off the top tier but land squarely on the 3rd spot. This game is not one to take lightly for the Patriots as the record shows Brady is 2-2 at Qualcomm Stadium and the two wins have been decided by 3 points each. Even with that history, the Patriots have been playing their best football in years so odds are that they will win and vegas agrees as they open up as 3 point favorites. Another bit of history to ease the minds of Pat’s fans (as if it was needed), no team comes back from a loss better than the Pats. Since 2003, the Pats are 36-4 after a loss, and have won the last nine in a row. The Patriots have won their last three games following a loss by an average of 27.7 points. So there you have it, this is by far the most important game for the Patriots this week as home field advantage is at stake.

The Dallas Cowboys may have been eliminated from playoff contention before their prime-time kickoff, but they continued their late-season surge with a 26-24 victory over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday night.
The San Francisco 49ers suffered a disappointing 29-17 loss to the Miami Dolphins at Hard Rock Stadium, with untimely penalties proving costly in a pivotal playoff race matchup.
The Colts then survived a late Titans surge to remain in the playoff hunt, winning by a 38-30 score despite holding a 38-7 lead midway through the third quarter.
Dolphins WR Tyreek Hill had three key drops in Sunday's win over the 49ers, something he attributed to a lack of reps this year with QB Tua Tagovailoa.
Eagles QBs Jalen Hurts and Kenny Pickett both suffered injuries in a "sloppy" loss to the Commanders that damaged their chances of getting the NFC's top seed.
With fans upset over the team's draft slot slipping after a victory vs. the Jaguars, Raiders coach Antonio Pierce said winning matters and "we don't do this to lose."
Texans wide receiver Tank Dell suffered a torn ACL and dislocated kneecap in Saturday's loss to the Kansas City Chiefs, coach DeMeco Ryans said Monday.
Lions quarterback Jared Goff and tight end Sam LaPorta connected on a trick play the club calls the "stumble bum" on Sunday in a 34-17 victory over the Chicago Bears at Soldier Field that improved Detroit's record to 13-2.
Bears left tackle Braxton Jones will miss the final two weeks of the season and need surgery after sustaining a gruesome ankle injury against the Lions, interim head coach Thomas Brown confirmed Monday.
Eliminated from postseason contention earlier in the day, the Dallas Cowboys held off the Tampa Bay Buccaneers 26-24 Sunday, notching a fourth victory in the past five games, prompting owner and general manager Jerry Jones to say "I'm real proud of them."
The Broncos rushed seven times on their first drive against the Chargers, then deviated away from the run ... again. Will Denver commit to the ground game?

The Raiders' win over the Jaguars on Sunday had no bearing on the playoff race, but it mattered a great deal to the top prospects entering the NFL in 2025.
Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin said on Sunday that wide receiver George Pickens has a "real chance" of returning to the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Chiefs, but Pickens didn't offer much in the way of a guess about how things will go when he spoke to reporters on Monday.
The Cowboys won for the fourth time in their last five games on Sunday night and that left team owner Jerry Jones feeling giddy about the job being done by head coach Mike McCarthy even though the team has no chance to make the playoffs.
The Buccaneers fell out of first place in the NFC South on Sunday night, with their loss dropping their record to 8-7, the same as the Falcons' record, and the Falcons owning the head-to-head tiebreaker.
The Lions still don't know if there's any chance of running back David Montgomery making it back into the lineup this season, but they've professed full confidence in Jahmyr Gibbs's ability to handle the load as a lead back if necessary.
