Patriots Aim to Extend Winning Streak Against Struggling Giants |
New England Seeks Tenth Consecutive Victory on Monday Night Football |
The New England Patriots are set to host the New York Giants this Monday night, aiming to secure their tenth consecutive win.
Currently standing at 10-2, the Patriots have demonstrated a balanced offensive attack and a formidable defense throughout the season.
In contrast, the Giants, with a 2-10 record, have faced significant challenges, including a recent six-game losing streak.
Notably, the Giants have struggled to maintain leads, having lost five games this season after holding double-digit advantages.
Adding to their difficulties, the team recently dismissed defensive coordinator Shane Bowen following a series of late-game collapses.
Interim head coach Mike Kafka has appointed outside linebackers coach Charlie Bullen as the interim defensive coordinator.
On the Patriots' side, quarterback Drake Maye has been exceptional, leading the league with a 71.0% completion rate.
His performance has been instrumental in the team's offensive success.
Defensively, New England has been particularly strong against the run, ranking second in the NFL by allowing just 87.7 rushing yards per game.
However, recent games have seen a slight decline in this area, with opposing running backs surpassing 50 rushing yards in each of the last three matchups.
For the Giants, rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart is expected to return after missing two games due to a concussion.
His presence could provide a much-needed boost to New York's offense.
As the Patriots prepare for this primetime showdown, they will don their classic throwback uniforms, featuring red jerseys and the iconic "Pat Patriot" logo.
Fans can anticipate an exciting matchup as New England strives to continue their winning momentum against a Giants team eager to reverse their fortunes.
The game is scheduled for Monday, December 1, 2025, at 8:15 p.m. EST at Gillette Stadium.
Local fans in Rochester can catch the action on ESPN or listen live on 98.5 FM The Sports Hub.
With playoff implications on the line, this Monday night clash promises to be a compelling contest for football enthusiasts. |
