Hub Arkush: New England Patriots make fools of their critics by destroying Chargers

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. — The New England Patriots were the only team in the NFL to go undefeated at home in 2018.

Next Sunday, the Patriots will play in their eighth straight conference title game, an NFL record that no other club has come close to matching.

The Patriots have been to the playoffs in 15 of their last 16 seasons, compiling a 24-10 record.

And I’m one of the clowns who picked the Los Angeles Chargers to beat them Sunday in Foxborough.

But as you might have read, New England went out and won again, 41-28, in a game that was nowhere near that close after the Pats led 38-7 and 41-14 before allowing the Chargers two late consolation scores.
