Are you ready for a Monday night party? It likely won’t be an offensive showcase when the New England Patriots take on the Arizona Cardinals on Monday Night Football this week. Both teams enter the contest on two-game losing streaks as they look to turn their respective seasons around.
The Patriots are on the bubble in the AFC playoff picture, as they are one game behind the seventh and final seed. The offense has been a major problem, as New England ranks 24th in yards per game. Arizona is still mathematically alive for the NFC playoffs despite being four games under .500. Like they say: “It ain’t over ’til it’s over.”
