They also react to two wild finishes in the College Football Playoff, and preview the National Championship game on Monday. Then they get into the Jets, and what they think will happen this weekend. Whether or not they want the Pats to win, and whether it even matters, based on what it looks like their draft position is going to be.

Pat and Matt break down the Patriots last second Christmas Eve win in Denver. The Patriots continue to play hard for Bill Belichick, and they are playing their best football of the season right now. Bailey Zappe is playing well, and the defense has looked great. They are trending in a positive direction, when a lot of fans wanted to see them simply tank the season away.

The New England Patriots fell to the Kansas City Chiefs, as expected, but it was a story of two halves. Bailey Zappe and the offense looked GOOD in the first half, for the second straight game, but turned into a pumpkin at halftime, for the second straight game, as the team looked atrocious on offense in the second half. What happened? What went right? What went wrong? Can the Patriots beat the Broncos? Should they want to?

Pat and Matt discuss the Patriots loss to the Chiefs in Foxboro on Sunday. Bailey Zappe started off hot once again, but then faded in the second half again, and the Patriots could not overcome the Chiefs. The Patriots sit at 3-11 and are currently in the driver's seat for the 2nd overall pick.

The New England Patriots leaned on Bailey Zappe for the second straight week and he had a strong first half against a good Pittsburgh Steelers defense, which was enough to come out with a win.

Well. We're here. This is the lowest the Patriots franchise has been in 30 years. The Patriots lost to the Chargers 6-0 and it was a completely forgettable game. Their best player on offense, Rhamondre Stevenson, suffered an injury that could end his season. The rest of the offense looked terrible. But, hey, the defense looked great! The Patriots-Steelers game on Thursday Night has an over/under of 30, which is the lowest since 1993. It's gonna get weird.

It was clearly the right decision, based on how Mac has played, but can we expect the team to look any different with Zappe? After a quick Chargers preview, they go over some submitted mock drafts, and discuss how realistic they are, and whether or not they like them.

Pat and Matt discuss the terrible football game the Patriots played in New Jersey on Sunday. The Patriots certainly appear to be one of the worst teams in the league, and have no good answer at QB right now.

Pat is joined by Keagan Stiefel of NESN to discuss who should start at QB for the Patriots moving forward, and if any one of the quarterbacks they have are any good. It looks like the Patriots aren't going to have much of a chance to win games moving forward, but should they try to start the quarterback that gives them the best chance to win, or simply embrace the tank? All that, plus a quick look at the draft, and then they finish with a few prop bets, trivia, and a few moments from this week in sports history.

The Patriots earned a strong victory over the Bills in a way that could change the trajectory of this team. The offense looked good in a, "they could do this against other teams!" way, the defense did a great job against an elite offense, and Mac Jones engineering the best drive of his career with a game-winning touchdown throw. Can the Patriots build from here, or was this a fluke? Alec and Rich cover it all. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Pat and Matt break down a huge win for the Patriots against the Bills. Not only did they control the game for most of the game, but they also came back at the end of the 4th quarter to seal the win. It was the first signature win of Mac Jones's career, and one of the best games the Patriots have played since Tom Brady left. Who knows if it will be a sign of things to come, but, at least for one Sunday, it was great to see the Patriots play as well as they used to.
