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.
