BRONCOS 17, PATRIOTS 12
Stephen Gostkowski connected on a 38-yard field goal and the Patriots pulled within 17-12 of the Broncos in the AFC championship game.
Gostkowski made a 46-yarder earlier in the game after missing an extra point — his first after an NFL-record 523 consecutive PATs.
Tom Brady had the Patriots on the move until the drive stalled deep in Denver territory. On a third down play, tight end Rob Gronkowski was on the sideline.
