Record: 10-7
Chance at winning Super Bowl: 2%
Wild Card opponent: at Buffalo Bills
One thing to know: Mac Jones' mid-season stretch had many thinking the Patriots were set for another run, at one time becoming favorites to represent the AFC in the Super Bowl. Things have changed a bit since then. Jones threw five interceptions over the past four weeks, with the Patriots going 1-3 over that span. During New England's seven-game win streak that preceded that, Jones recorded just two picks.
With a blustery day once again expected in Buffalo, turnovers could decide the game. That said, when the Patriots beat the Bills on the road earlier in the season, they needed only three pass attempts from Jones to do it.
