Chiefs to face Texans in AFC playoffs after Patriots lose

(AP) Patriots quarterback Tom Brady says he has no plans to retire. The six-time Super Bowl champion said after a 20-13 loss to the Tennessee Titans that he doesn’t want to predict the future. But he called the possibility of it being his last game, pretty unlikely. Brady is not under contract for next season, when he will be 43. Brady completed 20 of 37 passes for 209 yards against Tennessee. It was the earliest postseason exit for Brady and the Patriots in a decade.

Deshaun Watson spun out of a would-be sack and coolly completed a pass that set up the winning field goal in overtime as the Texans rallied from a double-digit second-half deficit for a 22-19 victory over the Buffalo Bills in the first round of the playoffs Saturday. Both teams had to punt on their first possessions of overtime. On Houston’s next drive, Watson evaded a sack by wriggling away from one defender and bouncing off another before rolling out to find Taiwan Jones for a 34-yard reception to set up first-and-goal. Ka’imi Fairbairn then kicked a 28-yard field goal to lift Houston to the victory.
