New England clinches playoff berth thanks to Buffalo loss

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (AP) -- The New England Patriots clinched the AFC East title even before they played the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday night.

Buffalo's 36-14 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars meant New England has won the division for the fifth consecutive year. The Patriots are the fourth team since 1978 to clinch a division title during the weekend of their 11th game, joining the 1985 Chicago Bears, the '97 San Francisco 49ers, and the 2004 Eagles.

The Patriots entered Sunday night's game with a 10-0 record.

Spying turmoil aside, 10-0... Nuff Said.
