As of the 2011 season:
The New England Patriots lost during Week 9 to the New York Giants on November 6th, 2011. This was the Patriots first loss at home during the regular season in almost three years. The last time the Patriots lost at home during the regular season was against the Pittsburgh Steelers during week 13 back in 2008.
Eli led the Giants to victory after he quarterbacked two go-ahead touchdown drives in the fourth quarter to give the Giants the win and the Patriots their loss.
last year
No. Prior to the 2008 playoffs, their last home victory in the playoffs was the 1947 NFL Championship Game when the defeated the Philadelphia Eagles, 28-21. This game was also the Cardinals' only home playoff game prior to the 2008 season.
January 8, 1994 over the Pittsburgh Steelers, 27-24, in overtime.
2012 AFC Divisional Playoffs vs. the Baltimore Ravens.
1993
112 regular season games, 14 playoff games.
The Detroit Lions last playoff appearance was 1999, their last conference championship was in 1957 also that was the year of their last championship.
just before their 1st playoff game
The last time they played for the league championship was Dec. 1941--(Bears won)
1990
2002.
Last year, in 2010-11, the Patriots went 14-2 over the regular season, securing the #1 seed for the conference. Though they lost their first playoff game to the rudely overcocky Jets. I am glad the Patriots have beaten them up so far this year.
