The Patriots own the AFC East title again.
New England has won its ninth division crown in the 11 seasons Tom Brady has been the starting quarterback, beating Denver 41-23 on Sunday.
The Patriots (11-3) are in position to gain a first-round playoff bye or even home-field advantage in the AFC, especially with South division winner Houston falling to 10-4 with a loss to Carolina.
Baltimore and Pittsburgh, who are tied for the AFC North lead at 10-3 heading into Week 15, also have earned postseason berths before taking the field.
The Ravens, who are at San Diego at night, get in thanks to losses by the Jets, Raiders and Titans.
The Steelers, who play Monday night at San Francisco, used a similar route.
