FOXBORO — If the Patriots don’t wind up as the AFC’s top seed, which is where they sit right now with three games left to play, they’ll have no one to blame but themselves.
At this point, having Position A for the postseason is theirs to lose. Shame on them if they don’t finish the job.
After losing two straight, and dropping down to the No. 3 spot last week behind the Bengals and Broncos, the Pats vaulted right back up into the driver’s seat after beating the Texans while the two teams above them lost Sunday.
