The Patriots win in a sloppy game and will move on to the AFC Championship for the first time since 2018-19 and play the Broncos in an AFC Championship rematch from a decade ago. There was 8 total turnovers in this game which was the most in a playoff game since the 2015 NFC Championship game. C.J. Stroud becomes the second qb since 2000 to throw 4 interceptions in the first half of a playoff game since Trever Lawrence did in the 2022 playoffs. CJ Stroud is also now 0-3 in the divisonal round in his career, losing in the divisonal round every year in his career so far. The Texans are still without an AFC Championship apperance as they go to 0-7 in the divisonal round. This is their 4th straight playoff appereance where they have lost in the divisonal. The Texans couldn't get anything going offensively and even the Patriots struggled a little bit on offense in the second half. Even though Stroud had 4 interceptions, the Texans were still in the game but couldn't get the job done.
