The New England Patriots will enter the final three-game stretch of the regular season with a 3-11 record in a Week 16 showdown with the Buffalo Bills.
They have struggled to find consistency throughout the year, and despite rookie quarterback Drake May showing flashes of brilliance, the team around him has been unable to elevate its play. With three games left in the season, many are questioning whether head coach Jerod Mayo and his staff are the right group to lead this team moving forward.
While there aren’t any playoff aspirations left, these final games will be crucial for player development, evaluating the roster and determining the future direction of the team.
