A loss of 35–3 with the Kansas City Chiefs created a divisional playoffs with the Buffalo Bills. With a win over the Bills of 26–8, the Patriots moved on to the championship series to the San Diego Chargers, who defeated the Patriots, ending their season by winning 51–10.

I’m surprised that a collegebred man like you hasn’t more sense. Don’t monkey with the buzzsaw.”

“The hour of the waning of love has beset us,
And weary and worn are our sad souls now;
Let us part, ere the season of passion forget us,
With a kiss and a tear on thy drooping brow.”
