The New England Patriots are set to face the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday, looking to extend their winning streak to nine games. The Patriots have been on a roll, with eight consecutive victories, and are well-positioned to make history. The key to their success lies in the exceptional play of quarterback Drake Maye, who has thrown for 2,836 yards and has completed 71.9% of his passes this season. Maye's impressive numbers have thrust him into the conversation for NFL MVP. However, the Patriots will be without some key players, including wide receiver Stefon Diggs, who has been playing through a broken finger. Running back Rhamondre Stevenson is also expected to be limited due to injury. The Bengals, on the other hand, have struggled this season, with a 3-7 record against the spread. They will be without several key players, including wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase, who was suspended for one game after an incident last week. The Bengals' offense has been inconsistent, with quarterback Joe Burrow expected to return soon from injury. In the meantime, Joe Flacco has been holding down the fort, averaging 290.6 yards per game in his five starts with the Bengals. The Patriots' defense has been stout, allowing just 84.7 rushing yards per game, the lowest in the league. They will look to contain the Bengals' running game and come away with their ninth consecutive win. A victory would give the Patriots their 28th 10-win season, tying them with Pittsburgh for the second-most in NFL history. The team is also looking to start the season 7-0 on the road, a feat they have achieved five times previously.
