"It was far from a pretty win, and there's a lot they will want back, but the Patriots are officially on their way to the AFC Championship to face the Broncos after beating the Texans at home. It's an unforeseen path they have gone down this season, since many believed they would win a max of eight or nine games and miss the playoffs."
"Davis has been downgraded to OUT. https://t.co/WxePqamVjr- Patriots Communications (@PatriotsComms) He might have had a few plays fans were unhappy about, but he also recorded two interceptions and four pass breakups that really put the team in a good position to get the job done. It would be a devastating loss if he suffered an injury that forces him to be kept sidelined next week."
"Nothing has been reported yet about Davis' specific injury, so there's a chance it wasn't a concussion but just a head injury. But if it is a concussion, that creates a potential problem in the secondary, much like the concerns stemming from last week's game against the Chargers, when Christian Gonzalez left the game and headed for concussion protocol. Given Davis' contributions on defense over the past month, more specifically this past weekend, they need him on the field as much as possible."
The Patriots advanced to the AFC Championship after beating the Texans at home despite an imperfect performance. Drake Maye delivered an MVP-level performance and the defense has surged over the past month, increasing Super Bowl prospects. The Patriots will face a Broncos team without Bo Nix. Carlton Davis III suffered a head injury in the second half, was ruled out, and has been downgraded to OUT. Davis recorded two interceptions and four pass breakups in the game. A concussion would further strain the secondary after Christian Gonzalez entered concussion protocol last week. Alex Austin is available and Marcus Jones continues to perform well.
