The New England Patriots have lost their last three games of the year and have put together a 3-10 record through the first 14 weeks of the season.
This weekend they’re traveling to Glendale, Arizona for a game at State Farm Stadium where they’ll take on the Arizona Cardinals, who give New England their best chance of earning their fourth win in 2024 over the season’s final four weeks.
However, Arizona is still in the playoff hunt in the NFC, with a 6-7 record good enough for third place in the division and two games back of the seventh and final seed in the conference.
With that, the Patriots will have to bring their best for this Week 15 matchup. Here’s what New England needs to do to secure a win.
Contain Kyler Murray
Murray is one of the most dynamic dual-threat quarterbacks in the NFL today. This year, he’s thrown for 2,862 yards with 15 touchdowns and eight interceptions while adding another 444 yards and four scores with his legs.
New England hasn’t had many opportunities to defend mobile quarterbacks, but Anthony Richardson tore them up in Week 13, rushing for 48 yards and a score.
