NFL: Patriots clip Cardinals' wings, Kyler Murray hurts knee

Linebacker Raekwon McMillan scored his first career touchdown to help propel the New England Patriots to a 27-13 victory at the Arizona Cardinals and keep them firmly in play-off contention.

McMillan's 23-yard fumble return gave the Patriots a 20-13 third-quarter lead and Pierre Strong Jr. piled on by rushing for his first career score.

Josh Uche matched his career high of three sacks as New England (7-6) had six overall while snapping a two-game losing streak.

With four rounds of games remaining, Bill Belichick's side currently occupy the final AFC wild card spot ahead of the LA Chargers and New York Jets, who both also have 7-6 records.

Points by the @Patriots defense!
