The New England Patriots have won 10 straight games and moved to 11-2 on the season after a "Monday Night Football" takedown of the New York Giants, 33-15. The victory moves New England back atop the AFC as the No. 1 seed, while the Giants -- already eliminated from playoff contention -- drop to 2-11.

To add literal injury to insult, the Patriots appeared to knock out Giants kick returner Gunner Olszewski, who fumbled the ball and gave it to the Patriots at the 27-yard line. It was bleak for the Giants on special teams. And it was a microcosm of how uncompetitive this game was.

The NFL has fined New England Patriots safety Jaylinn Hawkins for the helmet-to-helmet hit he put on New York Giants tight end Theo Johnson in their Week 13 game.

The defense hasn’t fared well stopping teams in the red zone, but even with that, it’s hard to argue with the fact the Patriots are a top-5 defense when it comes to points allowed (18.5) which leads back to the job Kuhr and the defensive staff has done. Through the first 13 weeks, the Patriots have built their on-field identity.

Here is a Patriots-centric view at some of the key moments of the game.

The Patriots will get a much-needed bye week after earning their 10th straight win and improving to 11-2 on the season. They will have a monster rematch awaiting them on the other side of the break with Josh Allen and the Buffalo Bills coming to town in Week 15.

The New England Patriots are 11-2 on a 10-game winning streak, and are entering their bye. Nick Wright, Chris Broussard, and Kevin Wildes ask if the Patriots can win the Super Bowl this year, and if the Kansas City Chiefs or Baltimore Ravens will make the playoffs.

Meanwhile, both the Los Angeles Rams and Denver Broncos leapt to the No. 1 seed in their respective conference thanks to the events of Week 14. Of course, the season-ending Achilles injury to Colts quarterback Daniel Jones also has ramifications that'll also help reshape the postseason from here on out.

One of Maye's former teammates wants the New England Patriots quarterback to contend for the Super Bowl with a chip on his shoulder.

The Patriots will clinch the AFC East if they beat the Bills in Week 15. The post Patriots’ rematch with Bills reportedly won’t be flexed to primetime appeared first on Boston.com.
