The New England Patriots are preparing for their final matchup of the season, as they will host the Miami Dolphins in Week 18 and move on to the playoffs for the first time since the 2021 season. With a win, they will secure the No. 2 seed in the AFC with a chance to steal the top seed from the Broncos, depending on if they beat the Chargers.
As they get closer to the biggest games of their season, the team is unfortunately tasked with dealing with some serious allegations involving two of their best starters, as receiver Stefon Diggs has been "charged with felony strangulation or suffocation and misdemeanor assault," and as of Wednesday morning, defensive tackle Christian Barmore is facing a domestic assault charge.
