Takeaways From Week Fourteen In The NFL

This has been an eventful week for NFL action. A miracle play in Miami and milestones reached by players like Larry Fitzgerald made for a newsworthy slate of games around the NFL. We haven't even reached the Monday night game yet as well!

• The Top Spot In The AFC Is Kansas City's To Lose: New England's stunning last-second loss, coupled with upsets by Oakland and Indianapolis, has put the Chiefs in the driver's seat in the AFC. Kansas City clinched a playoff berth with an 27-24 overtime win over Baltimore. But will Kansas City survive with Kareem Hunt being exiled for bad behavior?
  
• The Colts And Dolphins Have New Life In The Hunt For The Final Playoff Spot: Speaking of Indianapolis, the Colts had new life put into their playoff hopes with a 24-21 road win over Houston. The Dolphins also had new life breathed into their hopes as Kenyan Drake and two laterals helped Miami edge New England on the last play, 34-33. Both teams have challenging tests next week, with the Colts hosting the surging Dallas Cowboys and the Dolphins in Minnesota.
  
• New England May Be In Trouble: In that Dolphins win, the Patriots had a pass block rate of 36%, their lowest of the season (their average is 60%). Combined with their team's late-game defensive collapse, the Patriots saw any hope of obtaining a first-round bye slip further. A tough road test against Pittsburgh where the Steelers will want revenge for last season awaits the Pats next week. Can New England shake their road woes before it's too late?
