They clinched a playoff slot

The Patriots beat the Bengals this afternoon, clinching a spot in the playoffs. As it stands right now, they are projected to be the second seed.

In the hockey world, the Bruins barely held on to beat the Panthers last night. Unfortunately, so did the Capitals, leaving the Bruins still 5 points back in the race to first place.

As for baseball, the Red Sox are working on firming up their infield. They've picked up two infielders and one pitcher. Nothing showy but all three are solid ball players.
