For the first time in a decade, the New England Patriots will have to play a game on Wild Card weekend: the reigning world champions, who finished the regular season as the third seed in the AFC after losing their Week 17 matchup against the Miami Dolphins, will host the Tennessee Titans on Saturday in a highly anticipated matchup — one that will either end their season or send them to Kansas City to take on the Chiefs in the divisional round.
The game between the Patriots and the sixth-seeded Titans is projected to be a highly contested affair and as such could be decided by how a few key matchups unfold over the course of it.
