FOXBOROUGH, Mass. - The New England Patriots are in the AFC championship game for the sixth time in 11 seasons thanks to a prolific offense.

Its dominance was on display Saturday night in a 45-10 rout of the Denver Broncos. Tom Brady tied an NFL postseason record with six touchdown passes. Tight end Rob Gronkowski caught three of them. And the other tight end, Aaron Hernandez, lined up in the backfield, took a handoff and ran 43 yards.

Brady has thrown 25 touchdowns and three interceptions during the Patriots current nine-game winning streak. And they've scored more than 40 points in three of the last four.

They'll be home next Sunday against Baltimore or Houston with a Super Bowl berth at stake.
