🔑 KEY STORYLINES

New England Patriots (9-2): Red-hot with an 8-game win streak, Drake Maye is playing like an MVP candidate (2,847 passing yards, 26 TD, 4 INT this season). Patriots are 5-0 on the road and own the NFL’s #1 run defense. Stefon Diggs & Kayshon Boutte are both fully healthy, and the offense just dropped 42 points on Carolina two weeks ago.
Cincinnati Bengals (3-7): Season on life support. Ja’Marr Chase is suspended for this game, Joe Burrow remains questionable (turf toe), and the defense ranks dead last in the NFL in points allowed (31.2 per game) and total yards (412.7). They’ve lost 7 of their last 8.
Head-to-Head: Patriots have won 5 straight meetings, including a 16-10 victory in Cincinnati in 2024. New England is 7-3 in the last 10 against the Bengals.

⚠️ SIGNIFICANCE OF THE GAME A Patriots win would give them a 10-2 record, a 9-game win streak (longest active in NFL), and likely clinch a playoff spot before December. For Cincinnati, a loss would officially eliminate them from postseason contention in Week 12 for the first time since 2020.
