It’s do, get some help or die for the New England Patriots in the final game of the regular season against the Buffalo Bills. The Patriots need to win and hope the New York Jets beat the Miami Dolphins or have the Jacksonville Jaguars beat the Baltimore Ravens.
If the Patriots and Jets win, the Patriots are the AFC East Champions and would receive the 3rd seed in the AFC and host a divisional matchup next weekend. If the Patriots and Dolphins win, the Patriots need Jacksonville to win so they can secure the final wild card spot in the AFC and go on the road in the playoffs.
If the Patriots win their game, they will have to wait until around 7 PM or so to find out their fate as the NFL moved the Jets/Dolphins and Ravens/Jaguars games to 4:15 PM. Nonetheless, it should be an interesting day.
