This week the New England Patriots’ average drops down in the Power Rankings 1.1 points to 30th. With just a little extra push — a few thrown interceptions, maybe a couple extra “finger-tipped” third down passes — they can do it. Become the best of the worst. No. 32.
Remember though, no matter how far down the experts gleefully drop the Patriots, they do not control what really matters: the 2024 draft order. As of now, the 1-5 Chicago Bears own the top two picks in April. Next in line are the 1-5 Denver Broncos, Arizona Cardinals and New York Giants.
