NFL Round Table Show
The New England Patriots will try to extend their three-game winning streak when they face the Minnesota Vikings on Thanksgiving. New England got past the Jets on Sunday, extending its winning streak and moving to 6-4 overall this year. Minnesota is hoping to bounce back from one of the worst performances in franchise history, getting blown out by Dallas in a 40-3 final.
New England got off to a slow start this season, losing three of its first four games. The Patriots have been outstanding since then though, winning five of their last six games. Two of their last three wins have come against the Jets, including a 10-3 win on Sunday in a game that did not feature much offense. Rookie punt returner Marcus Jones returned a punt 84 yards for a touchdown with five seconds remaining. It was the second-latest game-winning score on a punt return in regulation since 1970, trailing only DeSean Jackson’s famous return against the Giants with no time remaining in 2010.

New England has not been on the road since the end of October when it beat the Jets in a 22-17 final. The Patriots are still hoping to find a consistent rhythm offensively, as they are No. 25 in yards per game (317.6). Quarterback Mac Jones has completed 68.7% of his passes for 1,386 yards, four touchdowns and seven interceptions. His top target has been wide receiver Jacobi Meyers, who has 44 receptions for 509 yards and three scores. Running back Rhamondre Stevenson leads the rushing attack with 644 yards and four touchdowns, averaging 4.5 yards per carry. He is facing a Minnesota defense that looked awful last week and is No. 29 in the NFL overall, allowing 388.9 yards per game.
