The Patriots are one of six teams to have a bye this week, but Week 10 in the NFL should still be interesting for the club and its fans.
At 8-1, the Patriots still have the best record in the AFC despite Sunday night’s loss. Only six other teams are above .500: the Bills and Ravens are 6-2, the Texans and Chiefs are 6-3, the Colts are 5-3, and the Raiders are 5-4 after Thursday’s win over the Chargers. But Baltimore’s win gives it the edge in home-field advantage for the playoffs if the Ravens and Patriots finish with the same record because head-to-head is the first tiebreaker.
