The 3-8 New York Giants host the 2-8 New England Patriots on Sunday in a Week 12 game ahead of the Giants’ bye week. New York earned their third victory of the season, as they defeated the Washington Commanders 31-19 with undrafted rookie Tommy DeVito slinging the rock around the yard. The Patriots had a bye week in Week 11, and look to pick up the pieces of their dilapidated season.
This seemingly insignificant matchup is consequential, but not for desired reasons pertaining to the 2023 season. Both teams are in the hunt for the top pick in the 2024 NFL Draft.
