The New England Patriots are on the road Christmas Eve out in Denver, where they may have a tough matchup against Russell Wilson and the Denver Broncos offense.
Beyond Wilson historically finding success against Bill Belichick’s defenses, New England’s secondary is now set to be severely undermanned. After cornerback J.C. Jackson landed on the reserve/non-football illness list and Jonathan Jones (knee) remains limited, a healthy Myles Bryant, Alex Austin, and Shaun Wade reside as the Patriots top three corners.
Smaller inexperienced corners is not a good matchup for the 6-foot-4 Courtland Sutton, whose 10 receiving touchdowns rank third in football.
