The Patriots (4–1) host the Bengals (2–3) in Foxborough on Sunday as Tom Brady makes his 2016 home debut at Gillette Stadium after his suspension.
Brady led the Patriots to a big win over the Browns in Cleveland in his return last Sunday, and he'll face a struggling Bengals team this weekend. Cincinnati has been unable to regain its playoff form from last season, but can move back to .500 with what would be a major victory. Andy Dalton led an effective second-half charge in the loss to Dallas last week, but the Bengals’ defense had issues containing the Cowboys and will receive a stiffer test this week.
