Overview
- New England can secure the division this weekend with a win over the Jets plus a Buffalo loss or tie to the Eagles, and the Patriots clinch by winning both remaining games regardless.
- Coach Mike Vrabel ruled out multiple Patriots starters for Sunday, including Robert Spillane, Harold Landry, Kayshon Boutte, Mack Hollins, Khyiris Tonga and Jared Wilson.
- The Jets will start undrafted rookie Brady Cook for a third straight game, and New York enters with an NFL-record 15-game interception drought this season.
- Bills coach Sean McDermott said safety Jordan Poyer, defensive tackles DaQuan Jones and Jordan Phillips, and kicker Matt Prater are out against Philadelphia, while Josh Allen was cleared to play.
- Drake Maye leads the NFL in completion percentage and a win would finish New England 8-0 on the road, with betting markets listing the Patriots around -13.5 at the Jets.
