Good morning, and Happy Gameday. Here is your Patriots news, 11-23, and NFL notes this week. The Patriots are looking to extend their winning streak against the Bengals to nine this afternoon. With Buffalo’s loss on Thursday night, the Patriots have a chance to extend their lead in the AFC East.
Cincinnati is the polar opposite of the Houston Texans, who used a crushing, stifling defense to beat the Bills on Thursday night. But watching that game, Houston’s offense showed why the team was 5-5 entering the game.
For as outstanding as their defense is, their offense is nearly inept.
