About New England

The Patriots improved to 8-3 Sunday, their 18th consecutive season with a .500 record or better. That's the second-best run in NFL history; Dallas had 21 in a row from 1965 to '85.

OPPONENT WEEK 12

Patriots 27, N.Y. Jets 13

Tom Brady threw a pair of touchdown passes, connecting with Rob Gronkowski and Julian Edelman, and completed 20 of 31 for 283 yards as New England eventually pulled away.

WHAT TO WATCH FOR

Tom Brady, QB

Brady became the NFL's career leader in total yards passing in regular-season and playoff games, with 79,416. He also reached 3,000 yards passing for the 16th consecutive season.

OUTLOOK

New England seems to be breezing for a playoff spot because the Patriots usually win the games they should win. This is one of them. Outlook: Horns down.
