5. A complete 60-minute effort

The New England Patriots have been able to play some great football this season, but haven’t been able to maintain that level of success throughout the entire year

In the playoffs, you can’t take a play off. If the Patriots want to win they will need to play well for an entire game.

In Week 17 I hope to see the Patriots get off to a great start and keep that level of play for the rest of the day. They can’t take their foot off the gas pedal.

New England needs to completely dominate the New York Jets on Sunday. They need to show the rest of the NFL that they aren’t going down without a fight.

Next. Don't count out a Josh Gordon return. dark

The New England Patriots need a win and I am pretty sure they will get it, but how they perform will show us if they are ready for another Super Bowl run.
