The New England Patriots have had a brief respite in their run to the top of the AFC, as their game against the New York Giants is on Monday Night Football. Most of the praise has gone to Drake Maye and his offense, but Bleacher Report thinks the defense needs some plaudits, as well. And they're right.
More rest is good for MVP candidate Maye and his dinged-up offense, and also for the defense that's banged up, as well. Injuries are mounting, and as the season enters its final third, both units will be expected to carry their share of the weight.
