FOXBOROUGH, Mass. – After a weekend of high-scoring, fast-paced action, the New England Patriots win a low-scoring affair over the Los Angeles Chargers 16-3.
Up just 6 in the 4th quarter, the game’s first touchdown saw New England jump out to an insurmountable lead.
This marks the first playoff win for the Patriots since 2019.
Tom McCarthy and Derek Rackley call the action on Westwood One.
