New England is 7-2 on the season and has won five games in a row. After a disappointing 2-2 start, the Patriots have rattled off consecutive wins over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, the New York Jets, the Atlanta Falcons, the Los Angeles Chargers and the Denver Broncos. The Patriots have already had their bye. That came back in Week 9.
