There are only four games left in the regular season, and every one of them will feel like a playoff meeting for the New England Patriots from here on out.
The team is hanging by a thread in a bad AFC division with the No. 7 seed in the playoff picture. As of right now, they’re in control of their own fate, but their situation could be helped if the Los Angeles Chargers and New York Jets completely fall off a cliff. That would allow for at least some breathing room for the murderer’s row slate of opponents ahead.
