Default Herald says the Pats can't clinch the division next week....they're wrong

IIAC The Pats can clinch the division title next weekend with a win over the Dolphins.

Even if the Pats lose their last 4 games and the Phins win their last 4,that would mean both teams would be 9-7 and its down to tiebreakers and NE would win that tiebreaker by better division record.

The Pats have already eliminated the Bills and Jets by sweeping them both.

I believe the Herald is misinformed and clueless as always

A win next week and its on to trying to secure down the 2nd or 3rd seed,the 4th is at worst case.

OP said the Patriots clinch if they beat the Dolphins. So if they beat them, they can't be swept by them...

If the Patriots beat the Dolphins next week then the Dolphins cannot sweep the season series

Did you see what I said?

If the Pats win next week they win the division because the best the Dolphins could do is go 1-1 in head to head match ups with NE

A win next week clinches the division
