The 9-3 New England Patriots enter tonight’s game against the 8-4 San Diego Chargers as the best team and No. 1 overall seed in the AFC. As the starting quarterback of the Patriots, Tom Brady is 5-0 against the Chargers. Philip Rivers, surprisingly, has never defeated a Brady-led Patriots team.
The winner of this game will take a big step into securing one of the AFC’s playoff spots. If San Diego wins, they revive their AFC West hopes. If the Patriots win, they keep their cushion over the Dolphins and Bills, most likely cruising to another division championship.
