The New England Patriots drove inside Denver’s five-yard line and settled for a 20-yard field goal to increase its lead over the Denver Broncos to 45-10 early in the fourth quarter in Saturday night’s AFC divisional playoff game.

Quarterback Tom Brady failed to throw a record seventh touchdown pass. He’s already thrown for six, leading the rout over Tim Tebow and Co.

The Patriots have 485 total yards of offense.
