Much has been made about the New England Patriots' favorable schedule during the 2025 NFL season. While statistically, that may be true to an extent, the Patriots can only play the teams in front of them, and they have a handful of marquee victories as well.
In Week 12, the team is slated to face a sneaky-good Cincinnati Bengals team, whose offense can keep them in any game. However, in Week 11, Bengals star wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase had a bit of a scuffle with Pittsburgh Steelers defensive back Jalen Ramsey.
The result of that scuffle was Chase being suspended for one week, meaning he won't suit up against the Patriots this Sunday.
