The New England Patriots haven’t been behind on the scoreboard since a late November game against the New York Jets.

According to NFL Research, the Patriots haven’t trailed in a game since Week 12, a stretch of over six games and roughly 360 minutes of real game time.

The Jets took a 17-13 lead on the Patriots with 10:17 left in the fourth quarter on Nov. 27. New England proceeded to score the game’s final nine points, escaping with a 22-17 win.

New England hosts the Pittsburgh Steelers, a team they beat in Week 7 (while also never trailing in the game), in the AFC Championship Game on Sunday.
