If the Patriots keep winning then the earliest they could be eliminated is Week 16.So Pats qualifying would be stunning, and involve not only three straight wins but a slew of other favorable outcomes.
Can we be eliminated next week, even if we win?
The only elimination scenario this week would be for the AFC East. If Buffalo beats Pittsburgh then the Pats officially cannot win the AFCE.
The Pats are also eliminated from the #5 seed with:
- Browns win, plus Bills win; or
- Browns win, plus Dolphins win.
IF the Pats win all three remaining games, then three of the following four must happen to make the playoffs.
- Raiders lose twice
- Ravens lose twice
- Dolphins lose three (including to Pats)
- Colts lose three
