This could mark the end of the Patriots era. The AFC is now wide open.
No it isn’t. Dropping one poo doesn’t change the fact that they’ve been in the AFC championship 6 years in a row, that their division is absolutely terrible and they will win it running away for the foreseeable future, that the only other serious contender in the AFC is the Steelers and they just can’t seem to beat the Pats. AFC road still goes through NE.
Pats play in a very soft division. The regular season matchups that determine home field always seem to be played in Foxboro. Until those two things change, we’ll always have to suffer with the Pats and their highly obnoxious fans.
