The Denver Broncos (7-7) are set to host the New England Patriots (3-11) on Christmas Eve in Week 16. Here’s our quick game preview.
Patriots’ keys to victory: RB Rhamondre Stevenson (ankle) might be able to return this week, which will give a boost to New England’s struggling offense. If Stevenson is held out another game, the Patriots can continue to lean on capable backup RB Ezekiel Elliott against Denver’s leaky run defense. New England QB Bailey Zappe has to protect the ball against the Broncos’ ball-hawk defensive backs.
