Pats win AFC East for fifth straight season

Buffalo's loss to Jacksonville enabled the Patriots to clinch their fifth consecutive AFC East title before they'd even taken the field for tonight's game against Philadelphia . . . and, indeed, before many of the players had even arrived at Gillette Stadium.

The Pats tied the earliest division clinch since the NFL established the 16-game regulat-season schedule in 1978. Three teams also clinched their division during the weekend of the 11th game since '78 -- the 1985 Bears, the 1997 49ers and the 2004 Eagles.

No team in history had ever won five straight AFL/AFC East titles prior to this year.

The Pats now won have 11 division titles in their history -- 1963, 1978, 1986, 1996, 1997, 2001, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006 and 2007. They also made the playoffs as a wild-card in 1976, 1982, 1985, 1994 and 1998.
