If anyone predicted before the start of the 2025 season that the New England Patriots would be a playoff-bound team at any point, never mind heading into Week 13, there are not many people who would believe them. In fact, most projections had them missing the postseason and just barely improving their previous season record.
They accomplished that by being the first team with 10 wins with their victory over the Bengals last week, and hope to improve that against the Giants on Monday Night. It will move them one step closer not only to the playoffs but also to winning the AFC East for the first time since the 2019 season, a feat the Bills were sure wouldn't happen any time soon.
