The Patriots play host to the Cincinnati Bengals Saturday for some Christmas Eve football.
New England is pretty much in must-win mode after falling to 7-7 with its devastating loss to Las Vegas last weekend. There might not be a tougher opponent for the Patriots to take on considering the circumstances than the Bengals, who are 10-4 and have won their last six. They’re fresh off a 17-point comeback win over Tom Brady and the Buccaneers last weekend.
The Patriots might have a bit of a weather advantage though on Saturday. The temperature is expected to stay around 15 degrees throughout the afternoon with a wind chill below zero and wind gusts expected to be between 15-20 mph.
