Patriots can still clinch #1 Seed despite heartbreaking loss in overtime to the Jets.
Even though the Patriots suffered a 26-20 OT loss to the Jets, the scenario remains the same. The Patriots still control their destiny for the #1 seed. The dilemma though is balancing going for a win while keeping their key players rested. The Patriots already have clinched a first round bye and they could theoretically punt the game against Miami. With the amount of attrition suffered against the Jets, the Patriots are awfully thin everywhere on the offense along with key defenders battling injuries.
