The 2020 New England Patriots experience is an absolute rollercoaster. New England, coming off of a tough loss to the unimpressive Houston Texans, were able to overcome a poor performance by Cam Newton to defeat the Arizona Cardinals, 20-17.
Arizona appeared to be the better team all day, but the Patriots made just enough positive plays and were aided by a helmet-to-helmet penalty on an impressive rushing effort from Cam Newton on the last drive to win the game and improve to 5-6 on the season. Kicker Nick Folk finished off the game with a game-winner from 50 yards.
These are seven things we can take away from this surprising Week 12 victory.
