The New England Patriots are set to battle the New York Giants in Week 13 of Monday Night Football. As the Patriots come off an impressive nine-game winning streak, the Giants aim to break their six-game losing streak with the return of rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart. Last week’s close victory over the Cincinnati Bengals showcased the Patriots’ resilience, while the Giants fell short in overtime against the Detroit Lions.
Jaxson Dart’s return after a concussion is pivotal for the Giants as they face off against an AFC powerhouse looking to maintain their top playoff seed. Dart has performed admirably this season but faces challenges against a tough Patriots defense. Meanwhile, Drake Maye could potentially solidify his place in the MVP conversation with a standout performance against the struggling Giants.
