FOXBOROUGH — If the Patriots win on Sunday vs. the Los Angeles Chargers , they’ll have to wait to learn their opponent until after Monday’s game. If the Chargers win they’ll head to Denver .
A New England win would mean No. 6-seeded Buffalo will be guaranteed to be the lowest seed remaining in the AFC and therefore would get sent to Denver to face the No. 1 Broncos .
The Patriots would then face either the No. 4--seeded Pittsburgh Steelers or No. 5-Houston Texans , who face each other at Acrisure Stadium on Monday night.
New England lost to the Steelers in Week 3 before they got rolling. They haven’t played the Texas since 2024.
If the Chargers win, they’ll be the lowest seed led at No. 7, earning them a trip to the Rocky Mountains.
The dates and times of the games have yet to be determined.
