| (MySportsbook) - When the playoffs draw near, winning ugly trumps losing pretty. Few teams have embraced the concept tighter than the New York Jets. Left for dead after a Tim Tebow-engineered loss at Denver on Nov. 17, the Jets have responded with consecutive defeats of Buffalo and Washington, both of whom they trailed in the fourth quarter before rallying for season-salvaging victories. Another chance to keep hope alive comes Sunday at MetLife Stadium, where New York hosts the Kansas City Chiefs. The Jet |

The Patriots can seize a third straight divisional crown and eighth in the past nine seasons with a victory this week coupled with a loss by the rival New York Jets on Sunday. New England can also reach the 10-win mark for the ninth consecutive year by besting the Redskins, which would serve as the longest active such streak in the NFL now that injury-riddled Indianapolis is guaranteed not to reach that total. |

The Chiefs claimed Orton off waivers from the Denver Broncos on November 24. Tim Tebow's ascent in Denver led to the unsuspected release of Orton, who started 33 games for the Broncos over the last three seasons. In his first five games this year, Orton completed 91-of-155 passes for 979 yards, eight touchdowns and seven interceptions, but Denver we |

PLAYOFF WATCH There's still quite a logjam in the AFC with four weeks left to go, as four teams continue to fight it out for the conference's coveted No. 1 overall seed and the New York Jets, Tennessee and Oakland all tied with the Bengals for the final Wild Card spot. Not much figures to be settled following Sunday's outcomes. The picture's slightly less cloudy in the NFC, where both the Packers and 49ers have already clinched their di |

The Bills did acquit themselves better in last week's trip to MetLife Stadium, giving the well-regarded New York Jets all they could handle in an eventual 28-24 loss. Buffalo had a three-point lead heading into the final stages, but surrendered an 82-yard drive capped by a touchdown pass from Jets quarterback Mark Sanchez to Santonio Holmes with just 1:01 to go.
