The New England Patriots have a big test this week with the Minnesota Vikings coming to town and it could be a high-scoring affair. The Vikings have an incredible wide receiver duo and the Patriots defense will have its hands full.
A main question is how will the Patriots try to move the ball against a great Vikings defense- and how a healthy Rob Gronkowski will be an important piece.
And also, how do the Patriots stack up against the rest of the AFC for the playoff picture? Can they move closer to securing the AFC East and stay in position to get a first round bye?
