The New England Patriots are moving on from the NFL playoffs, as the team defeated the Los Angeles Chargers at home in the wild-card round.

It wasn't a perfect game from the Patriots, but Mike Vrabel's squad did just enough to come away with the victory. New England's defense was the star of the show, holding Los Angeles to just three points.

That said, let's take a look at who the Patriots will play in the divisional round next weekend.

Who will Patriots play in divisional round?

It's pretty simple. New England will play the winner of the Houston Texans and Pittsburgh Steelers Monday night wild-card matchup.

The Patriots are the No. 2 seed and will play the highest remaining seed, either the Texans or the Steelers. The Denver Broncos and Buffalo Bills will be the other AFC divisional round matchup.
