Patriots keep playoff hopes alive with 20-17 win over Cardinals

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (AP) — The Patriots’ comeback started with a goal-line stand to end the first half and ended with yet another big win to keep alive their playoff hopes.

Nick Folk kicked a 50-yard field goal as time expired, and New England rallied in the second half to beat the Arizona Cardinals 20-17 Sunday.

James White rushed for two touchdowns for the Patriots (5-6). It was the second time this month that Folk hit a last-second game-winning field goal. His 51-yarder beat the New York Jets 30-27 on Nov. 9.

Cam Newton struggled, finishing 9 of 18 for 84 yards and two interceptions.
