After two horribly played games that dropped them from 10-0 to 10-2, the Patriots had to look themselves in the mirror. It felt the same as the Kansas City game, where the Patriots could determine their season by how well they performed in the next game. With how badly the Eagles game went, the Patriots needed to flush that game out of their memory and focus on the next opponent. The final four games would determine how optimistic I'd be for the Patriots Super Bowl hopes. Thanks to the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Oakland Raiders, the Patriots once again control their destiny for the #1 seed in the AFC.
