With a critical game against the Cowboys up next for this weekend, this game could certainly change the course of this season for New England. A win would get the Patriots back to .500 and start getting things headed back in the right direction, especially with a match-up at home next Sunday against the Jets.
If they can pull off the upset and complete the sweep of the Jets next week, two straight victories would put them at 4-3 before they head out on the road on 4 of their next 6 games before the bye week.
That being said, that scenario still requires taking care of business against Dallas and quarterback Dak Prescott.
