The Patriots rebounded in Week 4, easily defeating the Buffalo Bills 52–28. After that, the Patriots went on the defeat the Denver Broncos 31–21, but lost to the Seattle Seahawks 24-23 the following week. The Patriots then defeated the New York Jets in overtime, 29–26, which brought on a seven-game win streak. During this streak, they defeated very good teams like the Indianapolis Colts, 59–24, and the Houston Texans, 42–14. After losing to the San Francisco 49ers 41–34 in Week 15, they defeated the Jacksonville Jaguars and the Miami Dolphins to end the season. The Patriots came out with the #2 seed in the AFC. The Patriots were given the bye week before they had to face the Houston Texans in a rematch of the previous Week 14 matchup. The Patriots were the highly favored team in that game, and ultimately won again, 41–28. But they had to face the Baltimore Ravens in a rematch of the previous year's AFC Championship. Despite the Patriots leading 13–7 at halftime, the Ravens scored 21 unanswered points in the second half to win 28–13. The Ravens would go on to win Super Bowl XLVII against the 49ers. The 2013 season saw high turnover on the offensive side, as Wes Welker, Brady's longtime top target, signed a new contract with the Denver Broncos, and tight end Aaron Hernandez was released from the team due to legal issues. Even though injuries and a lack of experience wrecked the team's depth for much of the season, as starters Jerod Mayo, Vince Wilfork, Rob Gronkowski, and Danny Amendola missed significant playing time. New England still finished as the AFC East champions and the No. 2 seed. They opened the season 4–0 before losing to the Cincinnati Bengals 13–6 in Week 5, the first game in over 3 full seasons in which Brady failed to throw a touchdown pass. After a home win against the New Orleans Saints on Week 6, the Patriots fell to the rival Jets 30–27 on a converted Nick Folk field goal following an unsportsmanlike penalty to rookie Chris Jones. They rebounded with a pair of home wins against the Dolphins and the Pittsburgh Steelers, but lost 24–20 on Monday Night Football to the Carolina Panthers following the bye week on a controversial end-game interception by Luke Kuechly. They went on to finish with five wins in their last six games, including two games that included a 24-point comeback victory against the Broncos and an 11-point comeback victory against the Browns to clinch another division title and first round bye.
