The New England Patriots are the very definition of mediocre with a 6-6 record heading into their Week 14 matchup vs. the Arizona Cardinals.
As they watch their chances of a postseason spot slip away, it could be difficult to find motivation over the final stretch of the season. Tough games await, including meetings with the Cincinnati Bengals, Miami Dolphins and Buffalo Bills. That doesn't bode well for their playoff chances, especially given how the offense has performed.
So, how can this Patriots team find motivation for the final five games on the schedule?
