The New England Patriots are coming out of their bye week with some positive momentum after a rocky start to the season.
Not only did their Week 9 victory over the Indianapolis Colts allow them to clear .500 win percentage, but the Los Angeles Chargers losing in Week 10 opened the backdoor for them to sneak into the AFC playoff picture. The Patriots would be the No. 7-seeded team in the playoffs, if the season ended today.
But the season isn’t ending, and the level of difficulty is expected to increase significantly with the team having one of the tougher schedules down the final stretch.
That still doesn’t mean they’re a dead-in-the-water team with no hopes of competing and ultimately making a Super Bowl run. How many people envisioned the Cincinnati Bengals going on a run last season and nearly toppling the Los Angeles Rams at Super Bowl LVI?
This week on the Patriots Wire Podcast, Ryan O’Learly and I create a legitimate path to the Super Bowl for the Patriots. We also delve into the pivotal AFC East matchup on Sunday with the New York Jets.
