The New England Patriots haven’t lost since late September. Can they stretch their winning streak through the end of November?
The odds are in the Patriots’ favor for Sunday’s matchup at Paycor Stadium against a Cincinnati Bengals team that will be without star quarterback Joe Burrow (toe injury), No. 1 wide receiver Ja’Marr Chase (suspended) and All-Pro defensive end Trey Hendrickson (hip injury).
While veteran Joe Flacco has been solid as a fill-in for Burrow, the Bengals’ historically bad defense (33.4 points per game allowed, the most in the NFL) has repeatedly let them down amid a 1-7 stretch in their last eight games.
