The New England Patriots enter this matchup riding a wave of positive momentum. After falling to 2-4 at the hands of the high powered Dallas Cowboys offense three weeks ago, the Patriots have notched back to back victories over the New York Jets and Los Angeles Chargers to even their record at 4-4.
The Carolina Panthers on the other hand, have seen their record fall from 3-0 to 4-4 after dropping four of their last five contests. The injury bug has caught up with the offense, while the rest of the league has made adjustments to their aggressive style of defense.
