New England Patriots: 5 observations on week 10 win over Broncos
By Ben Porter
Moving forward
Next Sunday, the Patriots travel to Mexico City to take on the Oakland Raiders. After the Patriots won the Super Bowl last year, I thought Roger Goodell would send the Patriots to London and Mexico City in back to back weeks. Luckily, I was wrong.
The Patriots will look to extend their win streak to 6 games against a middle of the road Raiders team. The Patriots had a bunch of notable players inactive today due to injury, so hopefully they’ll be deeper next weekend.
I don’t expect the Raiders to give the Patriots any difficulty, though the secondary may find themselves in some trouble with Amari Cooper and Michael Crabtree if they decide to regress. I would bet against that.

So there we have it. The New England Patriots are hitting their stride at the right time. It’s no wonder they call it mid-season form. Thank you for reading my observations from this week. Stay tuned after next week’s game for five more observations. Go Pats.
