Patriots need better red zone offense to survive gauntlet of schedule

This week, the New England Patriots travel to take on the Philadelphia Eagles in a rematch of Super Bowl LII. Although the Eagles (5-4) don’t have nearly as impressive of a season record as the Patriots (8-1), they still represent what should be one of the tougher outs on New England’s remaining schedule.

The Pats are in the midst of a brutal five-game stretch that more than makes up for the relatively toothless first half of competition they faced. After losing by 17 points on the road against the Ravens in Week 9, New England now faces the Eagles (away), Cowboys (home), Texans (away), and Chiefs (home) in successive weeks.
