FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (AP) – Die New England Patriots sind mal wieder da: im AFC Championship Finale.

Dion Lewis erzielte eine 13-Yard Touchdown Reception, einen 98-Yard Kickoff Return zum Touchdown, und einen späten 1-Yard Touchdown. So half er den Patriots am Samstag zum 34:16 Sieg über die Texans. Die Patriots erreichen zum sechsten Mal in Folge ihr Conference Final. NFL Rekord!

Lewis ist der fünfte Patriots Spieler, der in einem Playoff-Spiel drei Touchdowns erzielen konnte. Er ist außerdem der erste Spieler in der Superbowl Ära der NFL, der mit einer Reception, einem Run und einem Return im selben Playoff-Spiel Touchdowns erzielen konnte.

Die Patriots (15-2) überwunden eine gut Leistung der Texans Defensive, die Brady zweimal intercepten konnte. Houstons Special Teams erzwangen einen dritten Turn Over.

Aber die Texans (10-8) kamen ansonsten nicht recht in Gang, um mehr aus den Fehlern der Patriots zu machen.

Brady vollendete 18 von 38 Pässen für 287 Yards und zwei Touchdowns. Im Stadion waren "MVP! MVP!" und "Brady! Brady!" Gesänge zu hören. Julian Edelman war sein zuverlässigster Passempfänger, mit acht Receptions für 137 Yards.
