AFC East champs -- again

Hey all --

Welcome to a chilly Gillette Stadium, where we get to share some news: thanks to Buffalo losing in Jacksonville earlier today, the Patriots have won their fifth straight AFC East division championship.

By clinching in the 11th week of the season, New England shares the mark for earliest to clinch since the NFL went to a 16-game season in 1978. The 1985 Bears, '97 49ers and 2004 Eagles also won their respective divisions in week 11.

Inside the stadium, Mike Vrabel is, as always, among the players going through early warmups. Vrabel is in his game pants and a long-sleeve shirt running the length of the field. Punter Chris Hanson and kicker Stephen Gostkowski are warming up together as well.

We'll have more as it gets closer to game time, including the inactives.
