Well the New Enland Patriots did it. They became only the second NFL football team to ever go 14-0 as they beat the New York Jets 20-14. They may have used a different tactic this time by using a running game but a win is a win and they will go down in history.
Even with the chilly gusts above 20 mph flowing and the rain pouring down, Laurence Maroney's rushing was the key to this win instead of the passing of Tom Brady. With the win the Patriots clinched home field advantage throughout the AFC playoffs.
The Patriots held on to a 17-7 lead headed into the 4th quarter and the two teams just exchanged field goals in the 4th. Maroney ran for 104 yards, just the fourth time this season a New England rusher surpassed 100. The Jets entered the game having allowed the third most yards rushing this season. Brady didn't throw a touchdown pass for the first time this season and completed 14 of 27 passes for 140 yards and an interception. The Patriots remaining games are at home against Miami and at the New York Giants.
