The absence of starting O-lineman Cole Strange, who has not yet been cleared for game action after returning from the physically unable to perform list, raises concerns about the team’s offensive line depth. His continued absence could put pressure on the quarterback and hinder the running game. Injuries along the offensive line often dictate game strategy, and without a smooth performance from this unit, the Patriots may struggle against Arizona's defense.
The Patriots are entering a critical stretch of the season with this matchup against a struggling Cardinals team that has lost three in a row. A win here would not only provide essential momentum heading into the playoffs but also solidify their standing in the competitive AFC landscape. Team confidence is essential at this juncture, and capitalizing on the Cardinals' misfortunes could be a pivotal moment for the Patriots.
