Patriots Dominate Texans in Snowy Showdown: Advance to AFC Championship Game
The New England Patriots secured a 28-16 victory against the Houston Texans in a snowy Sunday evening game in Foxborough.

The win propels New England to the AFC Championship game next week in Denver against the Broncos, who will be missing their starting quarterback, Bo Nix. Texans' quarterback C.J. Stroud struggled with four interceptions, one of which was returned for a touchdown. The game saw several turnovers and key plays that shaped the outcome. The Patriots' defense played a crucial role in securing the win, leading them to their first AFC championship game since 2018.
