Patriots' Postseason Seeding Hangs in the Balance as They Face Dolphins. The New England Patriots are one game away from clinching a top-two seed in the AFC, but they still have some work to do on Sunday.
With their record currently standing at 13-3, the Patriots need a win over the Miami Dolphins (7-9) at Gillette Stadium to secure at least the No. 2 seed and put themselves in contention for the No. 1 seed. However, it's not going to be easy. A loss could complicate matters, as they could drop to the No. 3 seed if they fall to Miami and the Jaguars come away with a win on Sunday afternoon.
The pressure is on for New England to end the regular season on a high note. The game kicks off at 4:25 p.m. from Foxborough, and fans can catch it on FOX or listen in on 98.5 The Sports Hub. With one of the toughest remaining schedules in the league, every win counts.
As the Patriots try to secure their place in the playoffs, they'll also need some help from the Los Angeles Chargers and Denver Broncos. If the Chargers beat the Broncos, it could open up a path for the Patriots to take the No. 1 seed. However, that's looking increasingly unlikely with Los Angeles announcing Justin Herbert will not play against the Broncos.
With Quinn Ewers set to start for Miami, the Patriots will need to bring their A-game if they want to come out on top. The game is shaping up to be a crucial matchup in the final week of the season, and the stakes are high. Can New England lock up that top-two seed, or will they fall behind?

. One loss and it gets complicated fast! 
The Dolphins aren't a pushover though, Quinn Ewers is looking solid as the starter for them, and Miami's gonna give it their all. I think Belichick's got this one in the bag tho, he'll get his guys hyped up and they'll take care of business 
. Still gonna be interesting to see what happens on that Chargers game tho, if they win it could swing everything in NE's favor 
! Like they're almost there but still gotta nail this one against Miami. Their chances of getting that #1 seed are looking pretty slim now, what with LA Chargers not being able to play Justin Herbert... it's all about the Dolphins for them on Sunday 
. Los Angeles is basically out of the running for the No. 1 seed now, and that's a bummer. The Chargers have been having a great season, but losing Herbert is huge. I'm trying to stay positive about the Patriots' chances, but it's hard when they're going up against Miami without their top QB 
.
. And don't even get me started on the Chargers vs Broncos game... if that falls through for LA, Patriots' chance of taking 1st seed goes up in flames 
. Fingers crossed for Tom Brady (not Mac, obvs 
) and the Pats to bring it home! 
I'm all about the Patriots securing that top 2 seed, but Miami's got some tricks up their sleeve 
with Quinn Ewers starting and all. The Chargers' loss to the Broncos kinda ruined the chances of the Pats getting the #1 spot, so now they gotta play it smart if they wanna win 
️ Can't wait to watch this one unfold 
. They're gonna need to bring their A-game if they wanna win this one. And, oh man, the Dolphins are playing well too - they could definitely give the Pats a run for their money
