AFP, WASHINGTONThe Houston Texans and reigning Super Bowl champions New England clinched NFL division titles with victories on Saturday, Houston sealing a playoff berth and the Patriots moving closer to a first-round bye. Elsewhere, the San Francisco 49ers edged the Los Angeles Rams 34-31 on Robbie Gould’s game-ending 33-yard field goal to boost their chances at a first-round bye. The result also clinched a playoff spot for the Minnesota Vikings by eliminating the Rams from the hunt. Buffalo’s Stephen Hauschka kicked a 35-yard field goal to open the scoring, but the Patriots seized the lead on Brady’s 8-yard touchdown pass to Matt LaCosse. Buffalo drove 59 yards in 32 seconds with Allen flipping a 1-yard touchdown pass to Dion Dawkins that put Buffalo level 10-10 at halftime.
