The Patriots are still in the playoff race, but their journey isn't the only one to watch this weekend. Other games could also impact their future.
First up, the Bills and Broncos are playing. It might seem strange, but some Patriots fans might want to cheer for the Bills. Why? Because if the Bills win, they could face the Patriots in the AFC Championship. Many fans would prefer to have that game at home in Foxborough instead of traveling to Denver. Plus, the Bills' quarterback has shown he can handle pressure. But it's not a simple decision.
Next, the 49ers and Seahawks are facing off. The Patriots have a stake in this game too. They own a draft pick from the 49ers, so if San Francisco loses early, it could mean a better pick for New England.
Lastly, the Rams and Bears are playing. The Patriots also have a draft pick tied to the Bears' performance. So, if you're a Patriots fan, you might want to cheer for the Rams to help secure a better pick in the future.
But remember, the NFL is unpredictable. Anything can happen, and every game is a chance to see some great football. So, grab some snacks, sit back, and enjoy the show.
