Sunday’s Patriots-Giants battle will have high stakes, but not the kind that many Patriots fans have been accustomed to over the last two decades.
Both teams enter the Week 12 matchup among the worst in the NFL. The Patriots sit at 2-8, holding the third-worst record in the NFL, while the Giants hold a 3-8 record after upsetting the Commanders last week. As many teams gear up for the post-Thanksgiving stretch for a postseason push, both the Patriots and Giants likely have some more losses ahead of them.
So, Sunday’s game could very well decide which team gets the No.
