Injuries mounting, but Patriots still should have enough to extend win streak to 10 games against disappointing Giants

"Drake Maye and the Patriots have a chance to extend their remarkable winning streak to 10 games - which would be the franchise's longest since 2015 - against the Giants on Monday night. That chance comes in prime time (their first "Monday Night Football" appearance since December 2022) and in their all-time sharpest uniforms (the Pat Patriot gear, obviously, worn from 1984-92)."

"The Patriots will look their best in front of a national audience. But will it be a challenge to play their best? Injuries have been mounting, with left tackle Will Campbell joining All-Pro-caliber defensive tackle Milton Williams on injured reserve this past week. Next week's bye has been a long time coming, and it will be welcome. But they cannot look past the Giants, who are playing their third game under interim coach (and brief onetime Patriot) Mike Kafka."

"With fearless rookie Jaxson Dart (who has been in concussion protocol) or wild card Jameis Winston at quarterback, the Giants have had a competent offense, even after losing receiver Malik Nabers and running back Cam Skattebo to season-ending injuries. The defense has been dismal but can get after the passer. The Patriots should stretch that win streak to double digits. But the degree of difficulty is higher than it would have been before the infirmary started to fill up."

The Patriots can extend their winning streak to ten games against the Giants on Monday night, which would be the franchise's longest since 2015. The game is in prime time and the Patriots will wear throwback Pat Patriot uniforms. Injuries are mounting, with left tackle Will Campbell and All-Pro-caliber defensive tackle Milton Williams on injured reserve and backups stepping in on the offensive line. The Giants are playing under interim coach Mike Kafka and have used Jaxson Dart or Jameis Winston at quarterback despite losing Malik Nabers and Cam Skattebo to season-ending injuries. The Giants pressure the passer but have a struggling defense, raising the game's difficulty for the Patriots.
