Here’s How To Listen To The AFC Championship Game In The Berkshires Sunday

The New England Patriots achieved an important playoff victory by defeating the Houston Texans 28-16 in the AFC Divisional Round on January 18, 2026. The win was fueled by a solid defensive performance, a pick-six by Marcus Jones, and crucial contributions from QB Drake Maye and WR Kayshon Boutte. 

This triumph propelled them to the AFC Championship Game and tied the San Francisco 49ers for the most playoff wins of all time. Prior to this, they secured a 16-3 Wild Card win over the Los Angeles Chargers a week earlier, ending a seven-year playoff drought and marking their first postseason victory since 2019.

AFC Championship: What to Anticipate

The AFC Championship game on January 25, 2026, will feature the New England Patriots against the Denver Broncos. The Patriots are heavily favored after the Broncos' starting QB, Bo Nix, suffered a broken ankle, leading backup Jarrett Stidham to start. Denver's strong defense and rushers like Jaleel McLaughlin will face a potent Patriots offense and defense, with the game set at Empower Field at Mile High. The matchup pits top AFC teams, with the Patriots expected to control the game.
