The New England Patriots beat a Houston Texans team who played one of their best defensive games of the season. The Patriots were not terrible on offense, but credit Houston for playing well.

Moving on to a record sixth consecutive AFC Championship game, the Patriots welcome the Steelers to frigid Foxboro on Sunday. Before moving on to that game, here is one last look at what we learned from the Divisional Playoff round.
